NSL : The Nepal Super League 2025 continues with an exciting clash between Kathmandu Rayzrs FC and Jhapa FC on Thursday at Dasharath Rangasala, Kathmandu, at 6 PM. Both teams played out draws in their opening matches and are eager to secure their first victory.
NSL: Kathmandu’s Comeback vs. Lalitpur City FC
Kathmandu showed great resilience in their first game, making a strong comeback after conceding two early goals against defending champions Lalitpur City FC. French midfielder Vincent Koziello, a former Bundesliga and Ligue 1 player, was the standout performer and was named man of the match. However, Kathmandu’s defense, particularly the full-backs, struggled, and they will need to improve in that area against Jhapa.
Jhapa FC Lacked Finishing in Their First Game
Jhapa FC, on the other hand, failed to make the most of their chances against a ten-man Butwal Lumbini FC, ending the match in a goalless draw. They started strongly in the first half but couldn’t maintain the same intensity in the second, showing a lack of clinical finishing in front of goal.
Midfield Battle Will Be Key
Thursday’s match is expected to be a tough contest in the midfield. Jhapa FC will rely on their marquee player and captain Laken Limbu, who will lead their midfield alongside two foreign signings. Meanwhile, Kathmandu’s Vincent Koziello will look to dictate play and control the tempo. The outcome of the game could be decided by which team dominates the midfield battle.
NSL : Head-to-Head Record & Stakes
This will be only the second time these two teams meet in NSL history. Their previous encounter in the last edition ended in a goalless draw. With only six league matches this season, every game is crucial, and both sides will be pushing hard for all three points.
The match will be broadcast live on Himalayan TV, NELL app, and YouTube, allowing fans to catch the action from anywhere. With both teams determined to secure their first win, an exciting contest awaits at Dasharath Rangasala.
