DIFFICULT IN EVERY WAY
Perhaps the most optimistic fans of Binh Dinh FC do not dare to think that their favorite team will successfully stay in the 2024-2025 season. Coach Tran Minh Chien and his team are at the bottom of the table with only 21 points, 1 point behind the team above them, Da Nang . In most other circumstances, this gap is very fragile. But at this time, for the team from the land of martial arts, surpassing Da Nang FC to win a ticket to the play-off match for a place in the V-League next season is not simple.

In the final round, Binh Dinh Club will face the second-placed team, Hanoi Club. Van Quyet and his teammates are sure to win the silver medal, but that doesn't mean they will "give up". Even if the capital team doesn't field their strongest lineup, they are still capable of defeating Binh Dinh Club. Meanwhile, Da Nang Club only has to face SLNA, a team that has just successfully stayed in the league after round 25. The Han River team's ability to score points is much higher than Binh Dinh Club.
Above all, spirit, the invisible strength that can bridge the gap in professional level, is something that Binh Dinh Club is far behind its opponents. After the 0-1 loss to Ho Chi Minh City Club in round 25, head coach Tran Minh Chien "called in sick" and did not attend the press conference. Assistant coach Tran Hung Cuong frankly shared: "The spirit of the players in the team has declined a lot". In the last 5 matches, Binh Dinh Club has shown a lackluster style of play and has not known the taste of victory, including a defeat against the relegation competitor Da Nang Club.
On the contrary, the team led by young general Le Duc Tuan always showed a tenacious fighting spirit. In the last 5 matches, Da Nang Club won 2, drew 2 and lost 1. In the match against Ha Tinh Club, they were behind by 2 goals but did not collapse, trying to have a 2-2 draw, earning an extremely valuable point.
WILL MIRACLES HAPPEN AGAIN?
Even if Binh Dinh Club can create a shock against Hanoi to win, and Da Nang Club cannot win against SLNA, thereby climbing to 13th place, the team from the land of martial arts still cannot breathe a sigh of relief. The ticket to stay in V-League next season will still have to be decided in the play-off match. The opponent is most likely Binh Phuoc Club, which possesses strong potential in both finance and personnel.
Binh Phuoc FC showed stability, second only to champion Ninh Binh. They have a team of quality, experienced personnel, spread across all three lines such as goalkeeper Tan Truong, center back Tan Sinh, midfielder Sam Ngoc Duc, striker Ho Tuan Tai and especially star Cong Phuong. Although injured, the possibility of Cong Phuong returning in time for the play-off match is very high, bringing great hope to Binh Phuoc in the competition for promotion. The striker from Nghe An is also in good form this season, leading the list of top scorers in the first division with 7 goals.
In terms of spirit, strength and form, Binh Phuoc Club is in the "upper position" compared to the collapsing Binh Dinh Club. Without positive and drastic changes, even if they avoid direct relegation, the martial arts team can easily become the loser in the final life-and-death match. Last season, Binh Dinh Club wrote a fairy tale with the runner-up position, this season that miracle needs to be recreated for them to stay in the V-League. But will the "miracle" happen again?
