Trần Thị Thanh Thúy maintains impressive form, brimming with opportunities to advance to the crucial stage in Japan's volleyball championship.

Thanh Thúy and her teammates at Gunma Green Wings hold the decisive power in the race to reach the finals of this season's Japanese volleyball championship.

According to the regulations of this season's Japanese National Volleyball Championship, teams will play 44 regular-season matches in a home-and-away format, including 22 home games. The top eight teams after the regular season will qualify for the finals.

Currently, the SV League's regular season this season has completed 38 matches, with only 6 remaining. Gunma Green Wings are ranked 7th and have 6 matches ahead. As mentioned, if they remain within the top 8 of the SV League after the regular season concludes, Gunma Green Wings will secure a spot in the finals of the 2025-2026 Japanese National Volleyball Championship. This means they currently hold the decisive power.

In the remaining 6 regular-season matches, Gunma Green Wings will face three opponents: Hisamitsu Springs, Aranmare, and Himeji Victorina. Among these opponents, Hisamitsu Springs (ranked 2nd) and Himeji Victorina (5th) are both positioned above Gunma Green Wings on the standings and are considered to have slightly stronger capabilities than Thanh Thúy's team.

In the history of the last four encounters, Gunma Green Wings have lost all matches against both Hisamitsu Springs and Himeji Victorina. Therefore, the chances for Gunma Green Wings to gain points in matches against Hisamitsu Springs and Himeji Victorina are assessed as not high.

However, Aranmare, who is at the bottom of the standings, is considered a "comfortable" opponent for Gunma Green Wings, as they have won all four recent meetings against this rival. The two matches against Aranmare are excellent opportunities for Thanh Thúy and her teammates to secure two more victories and a maximum of 6 points, thereby strengthening their position within the top 8 of the SV League after the regular season concludes.

If they perform exceptionally and gain points in matches against Hisamitsu Springs and Himeji Victorina, the situation will become even more favorable for Gunma Green Wings.

Gunma Green Wings are ranked 7th, and even if they drop to 8th in the SV League after the regular season, they will still qualify for the finals. Although the schedule for the remaining regular-season matches is not particularly favorable, Gunma Green Wings hold a significant advantage over their potential competitor, Denso Airybees, who are ranked 9th and trail them by 4 wins.

Additionally, Gunma Green Wings have three more wins than the 8th-ranked team, Ageo. This implies that Thanh Thúy and her teammates could potentially lose more than one match in the remaining regular-season games and still maintain their position within the top 8 of the SV League after the regular season ends. Therefore, Gunma Green Wings not only hold decisive power but also have a very high chance of reaching the finals.

For Thanh Thúy individually, she continues to firmly remain within the top 20 scorers of this season's Japanese National Volleyball Championship up to the present moment. Specifically, "4T" has played 35 matches and scored a total of 537 points for Gunma Green Wings, currently ranking 16th among the top scorers in this season's SV League.
