Coach Popov and the Thể Công Viettel Club still face many limitations.

Drawing 2-2 with the low-ranking PVF CAND in the early match of round 11 of the 2025/26 V-League caused Thể Công Viettel to lose the opportunity to claim second place from CAHN. Their continued stay in third place reveals the limited ability of Coach Popov’s squad.

The situation becomes even more concerning for Thể Công Viettel asHai Phong (17 points)has the potential to surpass them if they winSHB Da Nangat Lach Tray, which is quite possible in this round.

Meanwhile,Ho Chi Minh City Police (17 points)could also move up if they defeatthe league leaders Ninh Binh (24 points)at Thong Nhat Stadium.
