Abahani lock-horns Bashundhara tomorrow
DHAKA, Feb 27, 2021 (BSS)-The football fans are eagerly waiting to enjoy
an entertaining football when star-studded Bashundhara Kings take on Abahani
Limited, Dhaka, in the big match of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Football
scheduled to be held tomorrow (Sunday) at Bangabandhu National Stadium.
The match kicks off at 4 pm.
Probably, a high voltage encounter is going to be held between the two
best sides and both the teams must take to the field tomorrow to win the
match.
The defending champions Kings already proved their supremacy in the league
by dominating the league table. Even they did not lose any match so far,
except a match they drew with Sheikh Jamal by playing goalless.
Kings, who are again aiming this time to retain the title, maintained their
dominance in the league table with 31 points from 11 matches which included
ten wins and one draw.
On the other hand, six times league champion Abahani Limited stand at
second position in the points table but they are far behind from Kings
compared to points.
The sky blue Dhanmondi outfit also has no record of defeat in the ongoing
league but they lost some valuable points. As a result, despite standing at
the third position they are facing tough challenge to reduce the points gap.
Abahani Limited has collected 22 points, which is equal to Sheikh Jamal
Dhanmondi Club’s score who stand at second position with the same number of
points. Their10 points have come from six wins and four draws.
Tomorrow’s match will be very exciting one between the two best teams in
the league.
On the other hand, title aspirant Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra will face
Uttar Baridhara Club in the 12th round fixture of the day that begins at 3 pm
at Shaheed Ahsan Ullah Master Stadium in Tongi. Sheikh Russel Krira Chaka
currently stand at fourth position with 17 points having five wins, three
defeats and two draws from 10 matches while Baridhara Club is placed at
eleventh position with six points having six draws and four defeats also from
ten outings.
Sheikh Russel must be looking forward to returning to winning streak
through tomorrow’s match against Baridhara following their last three
matches’ results. Sheikh Russel went down 0-4 to Kings, played to a 1-1 goal
draw with Abahani Limited, Dhaka, and suffered 1-2 defeat to Saif Sporting
Club in their last three appearances.
Baridhara is not in a comfortable position in the league table as they are
yet to secure any victory in the league. In this case Baridhara will also be
desperate to snatch a victory from Sheikh Russel.
