OqabanHindukosh and De SpingharBazan have their last opportunity to dominate the pitch in the group stage later today at the AFF Stadium.

Both teams are on the top of Group A rankings with four points each. Bazan's first game ended in a 2-2 tie with Mawjhai Amu but thanks to their 3-1 win over De AbasinSape last Thursday, they are currently the group leader with a three goal difference.

Oqaban was blessed last Friday with Basir Haber's late second half goal to secure their second game's three decisive points. They had tied their first game with De AbasinSape.

Bazan'sFahimAkar will be under a lot of pressure today to produce goals for what will be a critical game for his team - but that is what he usually does. He has already scored three goals in the last two games of this season.

Oqaban have Mehdi Bahzad for support and with a splendid goal in the first game, he is one of  the players to watch for at today's game.

Without any doubt today's winner will advance straight on to the semi-finals. The team that comes second today will have to wait for Friday's game between Mawjhai and Abasinto find out if they make it to the semi finals.

All of the group stage matches will start at 3:30 pm this season. The matches will broadcast live on TOLO TV, Lemar TV, Arman FM and Arakozai FM.  It will also be watchable on the RAPL YouTube page.
