The highlight of this midweek round is the clash between Hoàng Đức’s Ninh Bình and the club where he made his name, Thể Công Viettel. At the bottom of the table, pressure mounts on coaches as they strive hard for victories to climb up.

The match in Ninh Bình draws significant attention from fans ahead of the Vietnam national team’s gathering and promises to be a fierce contest, with the league leaders hosting Thể Công Viettel who are closely trailing by just 2 points.

This is not only a battle between two strong teams but also marks Hoàng Đức’s first return to face the club that shaped his reputation. This rivalry surely brings many emotions and anticipation among the audience.

The game is also special because both benches are led by the best foreign coaches currently in the V-League. The personalities of Coach Popov from Thể Công Viettel and his cunning counterpart at Ninh Bình could turn this match into a high-level duel where every small detail might change the outcome.

Experts call this a "6-point match" since the result will directly impact the first half championship race. Ninh Bình remains a tough opponent despite recently losing a narrow victory at Lạch Tray and ending their winning streak. Home advantage might help Gustavo and his teammates leave Thể Công Viettel disappointed.

Meanwhile, at Hoà Xuân, SHB Đà Nẵng, showing improved form compared to last season, will host Hà Nội FC, who have regained some confidence after their first win against Thanh Hóa. Coach Lê Đức Tuấn faces the team that once dismissed him, giving him extra motivation to prove himself. Both teams currently have 5 points and are close to the danger zone; a loss means Hà Nội FC risks falling back into crisis, while SHB Đà Nẵng misses a chance to break away.

In Thanh Hóa, pressure weighs heavily on Coach Choi Kwon Won’s seat. Thanh Hóa has only 2 points and sits at the bottom, witnessing colleague Nguyễn Anh Đức lose his job at Becamex TP.HCM. The visitors showed no patience with Coach Anh Đức ahead of a tough battle in Thanh Hóa. This shows Becamex TP.HCM’s determination to "change their luck" with a new coach in a match crucial for survival.

For the home team, a win would not only improve Thanh Hóa’s standing but could also "sink" TP.HCM, who have just 3 points. This match is seen as decisive for Coach Choi Kwon Won’s future as fan trust has significantly declined.

Also near the bottom, HAGL and SLNA face off in a match resembling a "relegation final". HAGL has only 2 points and has yet to score in the last 4 rounds, a disappointing record for their fans. Meanwhile, SLNA hopes to "change fortune by changing coach". Given the low form of both sides, a draw is highly likely.

In the remaining match, Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh is favored when hosting newcomers PVF CAND. Coach Nguyễn Công Mạnh’s team has 7 points, ranking 6th, showing strong determination. In contrast, PVF CAND struggles away from home, partly due to their lack of V-League experience. Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh is likely to secure another 3 points to keep close to the top group.
