Pokhara Thunders will face Butwal Lumbini today in a crucial Nepal Super League 2025 encounter at the Dasharath Stadium, Tripureshwar. The match is scheduled to begin at 6 PM.
Last League Game for Both Sides
This is the final league stage match for both teams. For Pokhara, it’s a must-win situation to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, Butwal Lumbini is already out of the playoff race.
Current Standings
- Pokhara Thunders: 5 points from 5 games (5th position)
- Butwal Lumbini: 1 point from 5 games (bottom of the table)
Pokhara will be aiming to grab all three points today and keep their playoff hopes alive. On the other hand, Butwal Lumbini will look to end their NSL 2025 campaign on a high note. They have yet to win a single match this season.
What Happens If Pokhara Thunders Wins?
If Pokhara defeats Butwal, they will move to 8 points—equaling Kathmandu Rayzrs, who have already played all six league matches. Both teams currently have a -1 goal difference, but a win would boost Pokhara’s goal stats, putting them ahead.
Pokhara also have a better head-to-head record against Kathmandu, which means they will leapfrog them into a playoff spot. This scenario would also eliminate Jhapa FC even before they play their final match.
A Draw or Loss?
If today’s match ends in a draw or a loss for Pokhara, their playoff hopes will be over. Kathmandu Rayzrs will then qualify for the playoffs, while Jhapa FC will still have a slim chance.
Who’s Already in the Playoffs?
- Lalitpur City FC (defending champions)
- Dhangadhi FC
Both teams have secured their spots and will face off in the first qualifier.
