Ahead of V.League 2025/26 Round 25: The Relegation Race Heats Up!

The V.League 2025/26 season has just two games left, yet the fight to avoid relegation is still extremely tight. Many clubs are stepping into crucial fixtures that will decide their destiny.

The V.League 2025/26 has entered its most thrilling phase as the season has only two rounds left, yet the relegation race remains unresolved. At least four teams—PVFCAND, SHB Đà Nẵng, Becamex Ho Chi Minh City, and Hoang Anh Gia Lai—still face the threat of dropping into the danger zone. Meanwhile, the competition among the top half is no less fierce, with all teams still motivated to improve their standings.

The spotlight of Round 25 is on the survival battle at the bottom of the table. Last-placed PVFCAND will host Hai Phong at home in a do-or-die match. The gap to the safety zone is not too large, so coach Tran Tien Dai's side still has reason to hope. After springing a surprise against The Cong Viettel in the previous round, PVFCAND is expected to deliver another positive result to keep their survival hopes alive.

Meanwhile, SHB Da Nang is showing a strong resurgence in the late stages of the season. A three-match unbeaten streak has helped the Han River side close the gap to their direct rivals. An away trip to Hong Linh Ha Tinh is considered a major challenge, but if they can secure crucial points, SHB Da Nang could create a turning point in the race to stay in the V.League.

Becamex Ho Chi Minh City also faces considerable pressure as they face newly crowned champions Cong An Ha Noi. The police team will lift the championship trophy at home, so they are highly determined to end the season with a win. Against an opponent superior in both squad strength and form, Becamex Ho Chi Minh City is predicted to have a difficult 90 minutes in their quest for points.

In Pleiku, Hoang Anh Gia Lai face Hanoi FC in a match of special significance for both teams. The Mountain City side need points to stay clear of the danger zone, while Hanoi FC still harbor hopes of competing for a top position. The determination of both sides promises to make this one of the most exciting matches of the round.

Besides the relegation battle, the showdowns between Dong A Thanh Hoa and Ninh Binh FC, or Thep Xanh Nam Dinh versus Song Lam Nghe An, are also worth watching. With only two rounds left in the season, any mistake could be costly. Therefore, Round 25 is predicted to be a dramatic round, where both the relegation race and the competition for positions could see important twists.
