Title favourites Bangladesh will look to confirm their place in the SAFF U-15 Women's Championship final when they take on Bhutan at the Birshreshtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Dhaka today.

The fixture begins at 11:30 am while the day's second match between India and Nepal will kick off at 2:30pm.

The hosts made a flying start to their campaign by handing an emphatic 6-0 defeat to Nepal on Sunday, a team who were once a tough hurdle to cross for Bangladesh. The charges of Golam Rabbani Choton even seemingly taught their Nepalese counterparts a thing or two during the encounter while flooding the side with goals.

Bangladesh will certainly hope to pick up from where they had left off against Nepal when they face lowly Bhutan and to rectify their previous mistakes on the field.

However, an outright win in today's game is already expected even though Bhutan showed some character during the second half of their encounter against India after conceding three goals in the first.

The girls in red and green looked to be in a chipper mood during the light practice session at the astro-turf adjacent to the Bangladesh Football Federation Bhaban yesterday. Coach Choton also opted to rest three key players -- captain Maria Manda, midfielder Monica Chakma and forward Sara Ban Tahura, who scored a hattrick against Nepal.

“We said it before that we will not only want to win the title, but also enthral spectators and we are still stuck to those two points,” Choton said. “The match against Bhutan is a crucial one and we want to secure all three points and confirm our final berth.

“It was amazing to see the girls play a full 90 minutes at the same tempo and I want the girls to resume their show from where they left,” said Choton, adding that he urged the forwards not to waste goal scoring opportunities.
