Venue: ANFA Complex Satdobato

Nepal Army have delivered really well so far this season, being 3rd position in the table. Himalayan Sherpa have an outlook both up and down from the 8th spot.

Insights:
  • Nepal Army have not yet lost a game.
  • Himalayan Sherpa have the fewest points (1) away in A Division

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a A Division game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at New Road Team. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Nepal Army form and stats

Nepal Army have played three A Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Nepal Army has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Nepal Police defeat 86 days ago.

The home followers saw a 1-1 draw versus Jawalakhel last time out and are looking for a victory here.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Friends Club and winning 3-1.

Nepal Army aren't scoring a lot here at ANFA Complex Satdobato in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Nepal have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Himalayan Sherpa are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at New Road Team (placed 7th).

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Armed Police Force's place.
