Wondering what the tight table means for your favorite team as we approach the final game day before playoffs? We got you covered!

With just two playoff spots left to play for, as many as six clubs could still have a chance to book one of the spots.

But where does your club stand and what are the chances for you? Time to bring out your calculator for some permutation and combination

Let’s begin with some certainties. Saints FC (17 points with 8 games played) and Dannaz FC (15 points with 7 games played) are in the playoffs. All Blacks are out of contention with 1 point from 8 games played.

Fixture 1 Guns (6 points) v. Raineri Ghosts (10 points)

Guns have to beat Raineri Ghosts to move up to 9 points and even have a slim chance of qualifying for the playoffs. However a win for Ghosts to move them up to 13 points would firmly secure a playoff spot at 3rd or 4th place (depending on the outcome of the Cubs and Citizens game)

Verdict

A MUST WIN FOR BOTH TEAMS

Current Form

GUNS- WLLDDD
RAINERI GHOSTS – WDDLWLW

Fixture 2 Royals (7 points) v. Citizens (8 points)

A win for Royals will take them up to 10 points (even with Raineri’s ghosts if they lose) but if Raineri’s ghosts win their game, a win must-wineak them into 4th place. However, the game is also a must win for Citizens FC who depending on the results of Raineri Ghosts and Cub’s points total either qualify as the 3rd or 4th place team with 11 points. The crazy part is that this completely depends on the goal difference of the Cubs FC! So they need to win and for the Cubs to lose BADLY.

Verdict

A MUST WIN FOR BOTH TEAMS

Current Form

Citizens- LWDWLDL
Royals- DDWDDLL

Fixture 3 Cubs (11 points) v. Alimosho (9 points)

A win in this game takes the Cubs to 14 points and secures 3rd place irrespective of other results but a loss does not completely dash their playoff ambition. For example, in the event of a loss for Cubs FC which leaves them at 11 points and a win for the Ghosts which leapfrogs them into 3rd place with 13 points, a win for Alimosho would eliminate Cubs FC.

However, the match is a must-win for Alimosho who can sneak into 3rd with 12 points (depending on other results) but a loss makes it impossible to qualify.

Verdict

A MUST WIN FOR BOTH TEAMS

Current Form

Alimosho – LWDDDWL
Cubs – LWWDLDW

Fixture 4 Guns (6 points) v. Dannaz FC (15 points)

This game is a must win for the playoff hopes of Guns FC but a win in this game is meaningless unless a win was secured in the earlier game against Raineri. Dannaz has a chance to win this game and leapfrog Saints FC into 1st place.

Verdict

A MUST WIN FOR GUNS

Current Form

Dannaz – DDWDWWW
Guns – WLLDDD
