Reigning champions Mohammedan Sporting Club almost booked their place with seven points from three matches.

Arambagh Krira Sangha and Jhenaidah Mohammedan will it out battle to see who goes through to the next round as the third team of Group A.

Motijheel-based Arambagh, have a slim chance of reaching the super-six, but they have to win against the all-losers Jamalpur Jagarani in their last match and hope that Jhenaidah rivals are thrashed by a big margin against Mohammedan.

On the other hand, last year runners-up Abahani Krira Chakra and Bangladesh Army are in a pole position for Group B. But Chittagong Mohammedan with two matches in hand, could still sneak in.
