Chattogram City enter this fixture sitting at the top of the Bangladesh Championship League with a clear path to promotion. They have been relentless this season, racking up 11 wins from 15 matches while boasting the division's best goal difference.

Khelaghor SKS arrive in inconsistent form, managing just one victory over their last five league outings. Safely positioned in mid-table, they lack the late-season motivation required to upset a title-chasing opponent away from home.

The previous encounter between these sides highlighted a massive gap in quality. Chattogram City completely dismantled Khelaghor with a ruthless 4-1 away victory back in February, exposing clear weaknesses in their backline.

Defensively, the home side has been incredibly difficult to break down, conceding just nine goals all season. Khelaghor’s attack has been shut out in two of their last five matches, making it hard to see them causing major problems here.

With promotion firmly in their sights, the league leaders have every incentive to dictate the tempo from kickoff. The visitors simply do not have the firepower or the defensive solidity to resist sustained pressure over the full 90 minutes.
