Preview of Thể Công Viettel vs SHB Đà Nẵng

Thể Công Viettel has had an exciting start to the LPBank V-League 2025/26 season. After 6 rounds, coach Popov’s team remains unbeaten (3 wins, 3 draws), accumulating 12 points and currently ranking 4th on the table. Their disciplined, tight gameplay and good chance conversion make them one of the most stable teams so far.

In contrast to Viettel’s impressive form, SHB Đà Nẵng struggles in the lower half of the standings. The Han River club has only 5 points after 6 rounds, ranking 12th, facing challenges both defensively and offensively. Their recent 0-2 loss to Hanoi FC increases pressure on coach Lê Đức Tuấn and his players ahead of their away match at Hàng Đẫy.

In the previous round, despite playing most of the match with a man down, Thể Công Viettel stubbornly held Ninh Bình to a 1-1 draw away. This demonstrated the fighting spirit and resilience of the soldiers’ team. Returning home, they miss center-back Bùi Tiến Dũng due to suspension, but coach Popov still has enough players to fill the gap and maintain a solid defense.

With strong form and home advantage, Thể Công Viettel is rated far superior. Their in-form attack promises to trouble SHB Đà Nẵng’s shaky defense. If they perform well, the soldiers’ team can extend their unbeaten streak and aim for a top 3 position after this round.

Form and head-to-head record

• Thể Công Viettel’s form: The soldiers’ team is unbeaten in their last 5 matches (3 wins, 2 draws), with a 60% win rate, playing solid and effective football, especially strong at home in Hàng Đẫy.
• SHB Đà Nẵng’s form: The Han River club has won only 2 of their last 5 matches (40%), with a fragile defense, recently losing 0-2 to Hanoi, facing many difficulties when visiting Viettel.
• Head-to-head record: Thể Công Viettel dominates SHB Đà Nẵng with 3 wins, 2 draws, never defeated, including a 6-0 victory in May 2025.
