HANOI, Vietnam (Interstat) — Hanoi FC hosts SHB Da Nang on Friday, May 1, in a V.League 1 matchup that pits a resurgent home side against a visitor mired in a deep slump.

Hanoi enters the match riding a wave of strong form. The club won three of its last four games, most recently a 3-2 victory April 24 at Ninh Binh. Before that, Hanoi beat Becamex Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh 4-2 on April 17 and shut out Hong Linh Tinh 3-0 on April 12. The only blemish in that stretch was a 1-0 loss April 4 at Hai Phong.

SHB Da Nang, conversely, has struggled mightily. The team is winless in its last 10 league matches, with eight losses and two draws. Its most recent result was a 3-3 home draw April 26 against CLB The Cong – Viettel. That point snapped a four-game losing streak in which Da Nang was outscored 10-2.

The head-to-head history favors Hanoi, which won the most recent meeting 2-0 on Oct. 1, 2025.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Hanoi.

Da Nang’s next four league games are against Becamex Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh at home on May 8, at CLB Cong An Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh on May 15, at Hong Linh Tinh on May 31 and vs. Thanh Hoa on June 7.

Hanoi’s next four league games are at Thanh Hoa on May 9, at Cong An Nhan Dan on May 17, at Hoang Anh Gia Lai on May 31 and vs. CLB Cong An Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh on June 7.
