As we approach the final round of INDOLEAGUE 2024, the competition for the Premiership title has come down to three fierce contenders: Surau FC, Minang Saiyo Tigers FC (MST FC), and IQRO FC. With only one point separating the top three teams, the final games will be decisive. Here’s what each team needs to do to lift the trophy and be crowned champions of this thrilling season.
Surau FC (15 Points) – The Current Leaders
Position: 1st
Goal Difference: +15
Surau FC currently sits at the top of the table and controls their own destiny. Here’s what it will take for them to secure the Premiership:
- Win: A victory would guarantee Surau FC the title, finishing with an unbeatable 18 points.
- Draw: This would keep them in the lead unless MST FC wins with a large enough margin to overcome the goal difference (+16 vs. +15).
- Loss: A loss would leave Surau at 15 points, opening the door for MST FC to overtake them with a win. IQRO FC could also potentially leapfrog both teams if they win with a sufficient goal difference.
Summary: Surau FC just needs to focus on winning their match to ensure they lift the Premiership trophy. A draw may still be enough, but it would depend on MST FC’s final performance.
Minang Saiyo Tigers FC (14 Points) – The Close Challengers
Position: 2nd
Goal Difference: +16
Only one point behind Surau FC, MST FC is in an excellent position to challenge for the title, but they’ll need a favorable outcome in Surau FC’s match:
- Win: MST FC will claim the Premiership if Surau FC either draws or loses, allowing them to leap to the top with 17 points.
- Draw: Would put them out of contention for the Premiership unless Surau FC loses, in which case Surau would remain at 15 points and still lead in points.
- Loss: A loss would eliminate MST FC from Premiership contention, as both Surau FC and potentially IQRO FC would stay ahead.
Summary: MST FC must secure a win to have a realistic chance at the title, combined with hoping Surau FC does not win.
IQRO FC (13 Points) – Last Year Champions
Position: 3rd
Goal Difference: +18 (highest in the top three)
IQRO FC has the highest goal difference of the three teams, which could prove advantageous if the final round turns into a tight finish. Here’s what they need:
- Win: For IQRO FC to win the Premiership, they must win their match and hope both Surau FC loses and MST FC either draws or loses. This would put IQRO at 16 points, potentially overtaking both teams on points and goal difference.
- Draw or Loss: Either result would eliminate them from Premiership contention, as they would not have enough points to surpass Surau or MST.
Summary: IQRO FC needs a win and help from both Surau FC and MST FC faltering in their matches. It’s a tough scenario, but they’ve shown they can score goals when it counts, and they’ll be looking to make the most of their final opportunity.
