Sheikh Jamal needs just a point from the match to crown themselves as the champions of the Bangladesh League in their first appearance in the local football arena.
Sheikh Jamal has 50 points from 21 matches and a draw will take them to 51 the unassailable total of the competition. Muktijoddha, the nearest rival has 47 points and one match in hand so that they can't topple Sheikh Jamal. However as per the by-laws if Jamal lose and Muktijoddha wins their last match a play-off will decide the championship.
