Defending champions Nam Dinh missed the chance to accelerate to the finish line when they shared points with two teams that were considered weaker, including Ho Chi Minh City Club and Da Nang. After being held to a goalless draw in round 19 on the evening of April 20, coach Vu Hong Viet's team still held the top spot but was only 2 points ahead of Hanoi FC.
Top 6 all have a chance to win V-League
The top 4 teams in the rankings after 19 rounds are: Nam Dinh (36 points), Hanoi (34 points), Thanh Hoa and Viettel (both with 30 points). V-League 2024-2025 has 7 more rounds to end and the championship race becomes more exciting when the top 6 teams all have a chance to be crowned.
Meanwhile, the relegation group is also competing dramatically as the tournament is approaching its final stage. Da Nang is still the leading candidate for relegation as they are constantly at the bottom of the rankings with a gap of up to 5 points compared to the team above.
The bottom 3 teams compete to accumulate points to escape relegation.
Meanwhile, Binh Dinh and Song Lam Nghe An are still at risk of "replacing" Da Nang if they continue to lose points in the final rounds. Notably, the direct competition between the bottom 3 teams in the final rounds is considered a "reverse final" because the results will affect the final ranking.
