Nearly 10 minutes on the clock and it remains goalless across all four venues. However, we've already had our first major scare: East Bengal were just denied an early opener against Inter Kashi after Miguel's spectacular bicycle kick was cleared right off the goal line!

All four games are underway! Mohun Bagan and East Bengal are in action in Kolkata against SC Delhi and Inter Kashi respectively. Meanwhile, title challengers Punjab and Mumbai City are squaring off in Guwahati, while Jamshedpur FC play on home soil.

East Bengal (23 points from 12 matches)

East Bengal are in the best position to win the ISL title as they sit at the top of the points table. Although level on points with Mohun Bagan, they hold a +5 advantage on goal difference. A win will guarantee the title for them unless Mohun Bagan win their match and end up scoring six goals more than them. If East Bengal lose or draw their game, they will need Mohun Bagan and Jamshedpur FC to either draw or lose, and the match between Punjab FC and Mumbai City FC to end in a draw.

Mohun Bagan (23 points from 12 matches)

Mohun Bagan need to win their match and hope that East Bengal either lose or draw their game. If both Mohun Bagan and East Bengal win their games, they will have to cover the five-goal difference between the two teams. If they lose or draw, they will need East Bengal to lose their match, Jamshedpur FC to either lose or draw, and the game between Mumbai City FC and Punjab FC to end in a draw.

Punjab FC (22 points from 12 matches)

Nothing short of a win can guarantee the title for them. A win will take them to 25 points, and if Mohun Bagan and East Bengal both either lose or draw their games, Punjab FC will be crowned champions.

Mumbai City FC (22 points from 12 matches)

The same applies to Mumbai City FC as well, because only a win against Punjab FC can keep their title hopes alive. A win will take them to 25 points, and in that case, they will need both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan to drop points.

Jamshedpur FC (21 points from 12 matches)

Jamshedpur FC need to win their match, but it will take a lot of results to go their way in order for them to clinch the title. They will need East Bengal and Mohun Bagan to lose their games, while the match between Mumbai City FC and Punjab FC needs to end in a draw.

Let's take a look at the games in focus:

Mohun Bagan vs Sporting Club Delhi

Inter Kashi vs East Bengal

Punjab vs Mumbai City

Jamshedpur FC vs Odisha FC

Local rivals East Bengal and Mohun Bagan lead the pack, tied at the top on 23 points. However, East Bengal hold the upper hand with a superior goal difference of +18 compared to the Mariners' +13. Looming just behind them are Punjab FC and Mumbai City FC on 22 points, while Jamshedpur FC remain mathematically alive on 21.
