Hanoi Police vs. Thanh Hoa (7:15 PM): Hang Day Stadium awaits the ‘new king’
Hanoi Police are leading the standings after 22 rounds with 57 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed The Cong – Viettel. If they beat Thanh Hoa, Hanoi Police will secure the V-League championship three rounds early.
In case they do not beat Thanh Hoa, Hanoi Police can still win the title early if The Cong – Viettel fails to win away at Thien Truong Stadium. Both conditions are quite favorable for Hanoi Police to become the new champions.
Currently, Hanoi Police are in impressive form with 7 wins in an 8-match unbeaten streak. In the previous round, they also staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Nam Dinh 3-2. Hanoi Police’s achievements owe much to striker Nguyen Dinh Bac, who is in exceptional form with 10 goals in his last 6 matches.
He is currently the top domestic scorer in the V-League this season, and also ranks second in the Golden Boot race with 10 goals, 4 behind his teammate Alan Grafite.
In this match, Dinh Bac is predicted to continue scoring to help Hanoi Police claim the title. Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa is temporarily in 10th place with 24 points, and they are almost certain to avoid relegation, so they may not be too determined in this difficult encounter.
Coach Pep Guardiola hopes the FA Cup title won after a 1-0 victory over Chelsea late on May 16 can provide a spiritual boost to help Manchester City surprise in the Premier League title race.
