Five-time professional league winner Abahani have already booked one of Bangladesh's places for being the champion in the season's knock-out tournament, the Federation Cup. Apart from the Sky Blues, only Saif Sporting and Mohammedan managed to fulfill the criteria required for AFC Cup competitions. The top finisher among these three clubs after the end of the premier league will play directly in the group stage while the other team will compete in the preliminary stage. With seven-eight more rounds to be played in the league, Abahani are currently placed third with 33 points, followed by Saif Sporting at fourth with 27 points from 14 matches while Mohammedan are sixth with 17 points from 14 matches. If Mohammedan fail to finish in the top six, they will be ineligible to participate, despite meeting the other criterion.The complete #AFCCup2018 Group Stage draw!
