A crucial Mid-Table Clash

The BoB Bhutan Premier League heats up as Ugyen Academy FC prepares to welcome Southern City FC to the UA Artificial Turf. With both teams sitting level on points in the table, this fixture promises to be a closely contested affair with high stakes for both camps.

Ugyen Academy FC comes into this game with renewed confidence after back-to-back wins, securing victories over Tensung FC (3-1) and Tsirang FC (1-0). These six points have reignited their campaign after a tough spell of three consecutive losses. The home side will be eager to keep their momentum alive and record their third straight win in front of their supporters.

Southern City FC, however, are in search of redemption after suffering consecutive defeats to Thimphu City FC (0-3) and Transport United FC (0-2). With only one win in their last five matches, the Southern side will be desperate to bounce back and collect crucial away points to climb out of the lower half of the standings.

Currently, both sides are tied on 7 points, with Ugyen Academy placed just above Southern City on goal difference. A win for either team could be a turning point, providing breathing space from the chasing pack and helping them inch closer to the top half of the table.

This fixture also holds extra weight as both teams are fighting to avoid getting dragged into the lower half of the league. Ugyen Academy, known for its energetic young squad, will be banking on their home advantage. Meanwhile, Southern City FC will look to sharpen their attack and break their two-game goal drought.

Just for the spices, they indeed faced each other once to date during the Pepsi Bhutan Premier League, 2025 at Changlimithang Stadium, whereby, Southern City FC lead by a different head coach came victorious with the scoreline 4:3. However, today is not that same qualifiers and both will fight for the win to claim three points.

It’s all to play for at UA Artificial Turf. Will the hosts maintain their winning rhythm, or will Southern City FC turn their fortunes around?
