In the only match of the second Nepal Super League (NSL) on Thursday, former winners Kathmandu Razors will face Birganj United FC, and the Razors will have their eyes on the top four.

Kathmandu, which is in fifth place in the league table with 9 points from 6 games, will have to get a favorable result against Birganj to maintain the possibility of play-offs. Above Kathmandu, Jhapa and Lalitpur, which are ranked fourth and third respectively, have the same 10 points each.

In that sense, Kathmandu will maintain its chances for the play-offs even if it draws a draw with Birganj. On the other hand, Birganj, which is at the bottom with 5 points from 6 games, is out of the race for the top four.

It is expected that there will be some pressure on the defending champions when Kathmandu faces Birganj on Thursday. Birganj, on the other hand, will be free from pressure and plan to give a tough challenge to Kathmandu.

The game is scheduled to start at Dashrath Stadium from 5 pm.
