Kathmandu Rayzrs and Dhangadhi FC, two strong contenders in the Nepal Super League (NSL) 2025, face off today, April 11 (29th Chaitra), at 6 PM at Dasharath Stadium, Tripureshwar.
Key Battle for the Table
Both sides have collected 5 points so far, but Dhangadhi, having played just 3 matches, sit third in the standings due to superior goal difference. Kathmandu, with 4 games played, are currently in fourth place.
Lalitpur City FC lead the table with 8 points from 4 matches. If Dhangadhi win today by a strong goal margin, they could leapfrog to the top. Kathmandu need at least a draw to stay competitive in the race for the top 4 qualifiers.
