Round 10 of the V-League 2025 - 2026: Hải Phòng continues to soar

Hải Phòng holds the best record in the last 3 rounds with three straight victories. This impressive result has helped the Lạch Tray Stadium team firmly establish a place in the Top 5.

In this 10th round, Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm’s squad will continue as visitors at Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh’s home ground. The opponent is not very strong and not an obstacle Hải Phòng cannot overcome.

The attacking line of the port city team is playing very well, especially the foreign players. They have scored 18 goals so far, just 3 fewer than the league leaders Ninh Bình. Foreign striker Fred Friday has netted 5 goals, ranking among the top 3 scorers in the V-League to date. Fred Friday and Joel Tagueu form a highly effective “killer” duo.

Hải Phòng’s opponent in this round is Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh. After changing their head coach, they have gradually stabilized their playing style. Coach Đặng Trần Chỉnh’s team has earned 4 out of the last 9 points, despite playing 2 away matches against very strong opponents.

In round 9, Coach Đặng Trần Chỉnh’s team secured a valuable point with a 1-1 draw against league leaders Ninh Bình. Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh also defeated the reigning champions at Thiên Trường stadium.

Difficulties in squad strength have forced Coach Chỉnh to make do with what he has, but this has brought the team closer and strengthened their collective determination. The coach has also built an effective counter-attacking defensive style for Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh.

However, the defense remains the weak point for the Bình Dương team, having conceded 16 goals in 9 rounds. This undermines the efforts of the attacking line. If this critical weakness is not soon addressed, the Bình Dương representative is very likely to slip toward the bottom of the standings. Currently, Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh ranks 9th with 8 points, just one point above the bottom five teams.

An important note is that the Bình Dương team has yet to win a home game this season. Therefore, they are likely to face significant challenges in overcoming this “home curse” against a high-performing Hải Phòng.

The head-to-head history between Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh and Hải Phòng shows a balanced rivalry. Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh has won 3, drawn 3, and lost 4 in their last 10 encounters. At their home ground Gò Đậu, the hosts remain unbeaten in the last 3 matches against the port city club.

The upcoming match between Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh and Hải Phòng will be a tactical battle between two of the most experienced coaches in the current V-League: Đặng Trần Chỉnh and Chu Đình Nghiêm.

The match between Becamex TP Hồ Chí Minh and Hải Phòng in Round 10 of the LPBank V-League 2025 - 2026 will kick off at 6 PM on November 5th.
