Pressure Mounts & Stakes Rise: The mighty hosts the Tigers

It’s a tale of two contrasting journeys in the Bhutan Premier League 2025 as unbeaten Paro FC lock horns with struggling Ugyen Academy FC in what promises to be a thrilling showdown.

The Tigers, Paro FC, are flying high with 4 wins in 4 matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding just 3. With a red-hot attack and solid backline, they sit joint top of the table with Thimphu City and Transport United, separated only by goal difference.

Ugyen Academy, on the other hand, are still chasing their first win of the season. With just 1 point from 4 games, the young squad has shown glimpses of promise, including a narrow 2-3 loss to Transport United in their last match. However, their defence has struggled, conceding 11 goals so far.

The two sides didn’t face each other in last year’s 2024 season, as Ugyen Academy FC didn’t qualify for the top flight. However, history favours Paro FC. In their most recent encounters during the 2023 season, Paro FC secured commanding wins 4-1 at UA Ground and 3-0 at Woochu Sports Arena.
Over their last 10 meetings, Paro FC has dominated with 7 wins, 1 draw, and just 2 losses.

With momentum on their side and a dominant head-to-head record, Paro FC will be confident heading into this clash. But can Ugyen Academy pull off an upset and reignite their season?
