Some key information before the Công an TPHCM vs Ninh Bình match

Ninh Bình is asserting itself as a true powerhouse in the V-League 2025/26. After 10 rounds, coach Gerard Albadalejo’s team remains unbeaten, with 7 wins—the best record in the league so far. However, their hard-fought win over SLNA showed they still have moments of inconsistency, making this away game at Thống Nhất a chance to prove their true strength.

Under coach Lê Huỳnh Đức, Công an TPHCM has improved, currently sitting 5th in the standings. Yet, despite having Tiến Linh, the team struggles offensively. Home advantage will be a big support as they aim to earn points against the league’s strongest opponent.

Ninh Bình will miss Đức Chiến and Bảo Toàn due to suspension, but with stable form and superior squad quality, they are still favored. Another victory would help the Hoa Lư capital team consolidate their top spot, while Công an TPHCM aims for at least a point, though it will be a tough challenge.
