The blockbuster game of the day is up next when leaders Al-Fateh take on 4th placed Diablos FC. This will be a crucial game for both sides and a potential six-pointer. Al-Fateh need atleast a win and a draw in their final two games to secure the title and with FC Bengal having a far easier fixture list, the importance of this game cannot be underlined.

11:00 AM – Netbusters FC v Titans FC
Promotion contenders Titans FC meet Netbusters in the third game of the day in what should be an easy win for the Titans outfit. Netbusters have been dismal this season and will find it difficult to deal with the talent in their opposition’s ranks. That Titans have a realistic shot at the promotion play-off spot will only give them more impetus to go out and get all three points.

2:15 PM – Grasshoppers FC v FC Kudlu
We conclude a truncated day in TAL with the game between Grasshoppers FC and FC Kudlu. Both teams have had disappointing season and are in 9th and 10th place respectively. Grasshoppers will view this game as one of their last chances at redemption but recent form suggests that they will need to convert the goal scoring opportunities they are presented with. Kudlu, too will view this as a chance to improve their gameplay as they prepare for next season. All this should make up for a tight encounter, one that Kudlu have the potential to win
