Ho Chi Minh Wings defeated Can Tho Catfish 95:91 in the VBA on 29 August 2026. The two sides had met just two days earlier, when Ho Chi Minh won 101:77. This time the margin was narrower, but the result went the same way. And here's the thing — back-to-back meetings like this are unusual for the league so early in the season.
Ho Chi Minh sit fifth in the table after ten games, with four wins and six losses. Can Tho occupy fourth place following twelve fixtures, five victories and seven defeats. Both teams show zero points in the standings, which tells you nothing about their form yet. By then, when the table starts to mean something, these results will carry more weight.
Can Tho have struggled away from home recently. They lost 94:109 and 73:91 to Hanoi Buffaloes in mid-August before dropping 75:77 at home to Saigon Heat. Their only away win in that window came against Saigon Heat on 31 July, 83:72. To be fair, they have played more games, but the pattern of losses is clear enough.
Ho Chi Minh have been inconsistent. They beat Can Tho 101:77 two days ago, but lost 66:74 to Saigon Heat on 23 August. They won 76:71 against the same side on 21 August. They also won 96:77 against Saigon Heat on 8 August, before losing 80:83 on 6 August. Things came together for them on Sunday.
The final score puts Ho Chi Minh one step ahead in their head-to-head this round. Can Tho now trail 0:2 in meetings. The standings remain tight — four points separate fifth from fourth, and both sides have dropped losses to teams around them. The season has barely begun, and the table still has room to move.
