The V-League round 5 matches are considered direct clashes between top-ranked clubs, or clubs competing for the top spot, so VAR plays an especially important role.
The earliest match is the match between Viettel Club and Becamex Binh Duong Club after the announcement of the schedule adjustment due to My Dinh Stadium's conflict with other events. Accordingly, The Cong Viettel Club will welcome Binh Duong Club (Hang Day Stadium, 7:15 p.m., October 25, VAR assisted) in a match that is expected to be evenly matched. The home team is very close to the top group and a victory in round 5 can help coach Duc Thang and his team achieve their goal. However, The Cong Viettel must solve the problem of Binh Duong, which is changing positively under coach Hoang Anh Tuan, having just won a dramatic victory over Quy Nhon Binh Dinh in the National Cup.

The match between HAGL Club (ranked 2nd in the rankings) hosting Dong A Thanh Hoa Club (ranked 1st in the rankings) at Pleiku Stadium, at 5:00 p.m. on October 26, will also have VAR support. The current positions of these two teams speak volumes about a "big battle". The home team wants to maintain an impressive streak of matches to accumulate many points before entering unpredictable turns. The away team is similar and aims for victory to maintain their spirit on many fronts.
The top group is hot, the bottom group is also extremely tense when the teams have to try to accumulate more points. Ho Chi Minh City Club welcomes Quang Nam Club (Thong Nhat Stadium, 7:15 p.m. October 26, VAR support) is such a match. Both teams have 4 points, are close to each other on the rankings and have faced a lot of pressure recently. The home team as well as the away team need to win to relieve the tension and surpass their opponents. Ho Chi Minh City Club has lost the last 3 matches (including the National Cup), so the disappointing streak needs to be stopped against the equally strong opponent Quang Nam.
VAR car goes to the stadiums
On October 27, there will be 3 matches of round 5. Da Nang team will host Hai Phong club (Hoa Xuan stadium, 6pm without VAR technology support because currently in the Central and Central Highlands regions, there is only 1 VAR car operating). The home team and the away team have not known victory after 4 rounds, so they are in the bottom group. The home match is an opportunity for Da Nang team to aim for 3 full points, even though they know that Hai Phong is a team that is not easy to defeat even at the time when they are most unstable.
The clash between Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club and SLNA Club (Quy Nhon Stadium, 6pm on October 27, VAR support). Quy Nhon Binh Dinh Club has not had a good start to the season this year and at home, coach Bui Doan Quang Huy and his team need a victory against SLNA to make a springboard to move forward. The Nghe An team is currently at the bottom of the table but the fighting spirit of this young team is commendable. Can the indomitable spirit and an exciting afternoon help SLNA Club create a surprise in Quy Nhon?
Hanoi FC (6th place) welcomes HL Ha Tinh FC (3rd place) at Hang Day Stadium at 7:15 p.m. on October 27, with VAR support. The away team Ha Tinh is ranked 3rd but is only 1 fragile point ahead of Hanoi FC. Therefore, the home team's goal is 3 points to overcome this opponent, while opening up the opportunity to enter the top group. However, Ha Tinh is in quite good form and high spirits, so it is certain that the home team will not be able to easily achieve their goal.

The hottest match predicted and also taking place the latest in round 5 is the epic battle between Nam Dinh Steel Club and CAHN Club (Thien Truong Stadium, 6 p.m. on October 28, VAR assisted). Nam Dinh Club is gradually regaining its winning streak with explosive players like Nguyen Xuan Son "opening fire". The reigning V-League champion wants to reclaim the No. 1 position, so the stars in the hands of Coach Hong Viet are ready to explode in the match welcoming another star from CAHN Club. With the ambition to win the 2024-2025 season, CAHN Club cannot be satisfied with the 5 points after 4 rounds, ranking 8th. Coach Polking and his team need to win to move up, and at the same time prove that the top stars are ready to conquer the highest goals.
