HANOI (Interstat) — CLB Cong An Ha Nội hosts CLB Becamex Thanh Phố Hồ Chi Minh on Sunday, May 31, 2026, in a V.League 1 matchup at a venue to be announced. Kickoff time has not been set.

The home side enters with significant momentum. CLB Cong An Ha Nội has won four straight league matches, including a 2-0 victory over Thanh Hoa on May 17. The club has not lost since a 1-1 draw with Cong An Nhan Dan on April 12, a span of six games. Their offense has been prolific, scoring 14 goals in the past four matches, including a 4-2 win over Song Lam Nghe An on April 26 and a 5-1 demolition of SHB Đa Nẵng on April 4.

The head-to-head history strongly favors the hosts. In the most recent meeting Aug. 24, 2025, Cong An Ha Nội earned a 3-0 away victory. The team’s Interstat simulator projects another 3-0 result Sunday.

CLB Becamex Thanh Phố Hồ Chi Minh arrives in poor form, having lost three of its last four games. The visitors fell 4-2 at Hai Phong on May 16, following a 2-0 loss at SHB Đa Nẵng on May 8. Their lone bright spot in that stretch was a 1-1 draw with Thanh Hoa on May 2. The club has not won a match since March 14, a 2-0 victory over Hong Linh Tinh. In that 10-game span, Thanh Phố Hồ Chi Minh is 1-5-4.

Both clubs will turn around quickly for next week’s fixtures. Cong An Ha Nội travels to CLB Thể Cong - Viettel on Sunday, June 7, while Thanh Phố Hồ Chi Minh hosts Hoang Anh Gia Lai the same day.

Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday.
