The return leg of the 2022 V.League 2 is more than half way over. The competitions in the top half and bottom half of the tournament to decide the team promoted to V.League 1 and  the team relegated to the second division next season get more and more intense. The top 4 teams in the race for the first position include People's Police, Quang Nam, Khanh Hoa, and Pho Hien. Currently, first-placed People’s Police are 2 points ahead of Quang Nam and Khanh Hoa, which are have the same points of 30. However, People’s Police have played 1 match more than Quang Nam and Khanh Hoa because the match between Quang Nam and Khanh Hoa in round 16 was postponed due to storm No.4 (Noru).

In the remaining matches of the season, among the top 3, it seems that Khanh Hoa FC have the most advantage because besides Quang Nam, their opponents are the ones who are placing in the middle or the bottom half of the rankings. Meanwhile, People’s Police and Quang Nam will play against each other and tough opponents Pho Hien. 
 
Although Khanh Hoa FC have many opportunities to obtain the promotion slot, they have to play with great effort and determination as well as grab every chance. First, they need to win 3 points over Phu Tho in the upcoming match. Khanh Hoa FC players have showed good form in the last rounds with 10 unbeaten matches. Most recently, in the away match with Pho Hien in round 17, Khanh Hoa FC scored 2 goals in 4 minutes of injury time to draw 3-3 with the hosts. Pho Hien are now at 8th position with 19 points, 8 points more than bottom-placed Binh Phuoc. They will also fight for points in order to avoid the relegation section.
