Karnali Yaks vs Lumbini Lions prediction
Motivation will be extremely high for Lumbini Lions here, knowing that two points will guarantee them a place in the playoffs. Their ambitions will stretch further than that, though, with a top-of-the-table finish the aim for a side that has been at the summit all season.
So far, the Lions have lost just one of their five matches played, while Karnali Yaks are in terrible recent form and head into this latest contest on the back of a three-game losing streak. Lumbini, meanwhile, will be determined to bounce back after a rare off day, which saw them beaten easily by Kathmandu Gorkhas. You wouldn’t expect a side of Lumbini’s quality to play that poorly twice in a row.
Against a Yaks side that is extremely low on confidence and not playing well, the expectation will be for the reigning champions to come out on top.
