Analysis PVF CAND vs Ninh Bình

After being promoted to replace Quảng Nam FC, PVF-CAND entered this season with limited preparation time. Under coach Thạch Bảo Khanh, this young team brings fresh energy with passionate play and a strong desire to prove themselves. However, their lack of experience and squad depth has prevented them from achieving consistent results.

Before round 8, PVF-CAND has only 7 points, ranking 8th on the table, and is currently on a 6-match winless streak (4 draws, 2 losses). Nevertheless, their attacking style and fighting spirit remain a bright spot, giving fans hope for a promising future. Hosting league leaders Ninh Bình at Hưng Yên will be a tough test of PVF-CAND’s resilience.

On the other side, Ninh Bình, coached by Gerard Albadajejo, is crafting a fairy tale in the V-League. From newcomers, they now lead the standings and boast an unbeaten streak of 31 matches across all competitions (within 90 minutes), a rare record in Vietnamese football history.

Ninh Bình’s strength lies in their perfect blend of experience and quality. The local players Hoàng Đức, Đức Chiến, Thanh Thịnh, Quang Nho, and goalkeeper Đặng Văn Lâm provide stability, while foreign players Gustavo and Daniel are in excellent form, contributing significantly to their impressive 17 goals in 7 matches, averaging 2.4 goals per game.

Besides their strong attack, Ninh Bình also shows defensive solidity. Văn Lâm continues to perform consistently with multiple key saves, helping the team concede only 6 goals so far this season. Despite missing Châu Ngọc Quang and Geovane due to injury and suspension, coach Gerard still has a deep enough squad to maintain top form.

In terms of form, skill, and experience, Ninh Bình is clearly the superior side. The visitors are likely to stick to their philosophy of ball control and varied attacks, aiming to secure all 3 points to strengthen their lead.

Meanwhile, PVF-CAND will rely on home advantage and youthful enthusiasm to seek a positive result. If they capitalize well on counter-attacks and maintain a never-give-up attitude, the police team could challenge the league’s hottest team.

Still, based on current performances, Ninh Bình remains the favorite to win. This promises to be an exciting match where fans witness the contrast between experience and ambition, between the title contenders and the promising newcomers of this V-League season.
