Final Round of 2021 Cambodian metfone C-League
In total there will be four fixtures, three of which will decide the outcome of the 2021 season, with the last one being for pride alone.
Nagaworld vs Kirivong Sok Sen Chey
Nagaworld currently sit in 5th place, one bellow regaining champions Boeung Ket. This is a game they will expect to win against the Takeo based team, who sit on 13 points and last place in the championship round.
Phnom Penh Crown vs Boeung Ket
On paper and form this is a game that PPC should win, but as defending champions Boeung Ket will not want to hand the title to their bitter rivals.
Boeung Ket FC currently sit in 4th and regardless of the score can come no higher. Lose, or draw though and they most likely will finish in 5th place.
Tiffy Army vs Visakha FC
Visakha FC have been many pundits favorites to win the league this season, but have dropped points in important games. Had they won last week at home to PPC they’d be in top position now, but could only pull off a draw on a rain swept evening. They will enter the match as favorites and need nothing short of victory. Best case scenario, champions, worst case, third place.
Angkor Tigers vs Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng
On Tuesday Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng spanked Angkor Tigers 3-0 at home in the quarter-finals of the Hun Sen Cup, so will enter the match as favorites. The Tigers will finish in 6th place regardless of the score, but cannot be underestimated with home advantage and revenge in mind. Svay Rieng could finish anywhere in the top three depending on how results go.
Final day permutation
Win and PPC are champions, although if they draw and Visaka don’t win, they will also be champions. If PPC lose and both of the other two win, Svay Rieng will finish top. The only way for Visakha to become champions is if they win, and both PPC and Svay Rieng fail to win. So, a lot of excitement going into the final day.
