Goa Police FC has emerged as the early favorites and strong contenders in this edition of Goa Professional League (GPL) 2024-25, sitting at the top of the table with 12 points after four matches. Their flawless record, with four consecutive victories, highlights a well-rounded team effort on both sides of the field, scoring 13 goals and conceding only three.
In the tightly packed league, Geno FC and Dempo Sports Club are also strong contenders, with 10 and 9 points, respectively. Geno FC has shown grit, securing 3 wins in their five matches, while Dempo Sports Club boasts the highest goal tally of the season so far with 14 goals across four matches.
Strong Early Performances
The league table suggests a fierce battle at the top, with Sporting Clube de Goa and Clube De Salgaocar hot on the heels of the leaders. Sporting Clube has maintained a perfect record with three wins from three games, while Salgaocar remains unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws from their four outings.
The competition remains fierce, and there is little separating the top five teams in the league. Goa Police’s dominant run has been fueled by a strong defensive structure, while Dempo Sports Club’s attacking prowess could challenge their lead if they tighten up defensively.
Struggles at the Bottom
Meanwhile, Churchill Brothers FC Goa and Panjim Footballers are languishing at the bottom of the standings, both yet to register a win or even a point. Churchill Brothers has been particularly troubled in attack, scoring only once in four matches while conceding nine goals. Vasco SC and Guardian Angel Sports Club also remain in the lower half of the table, but are likely to pose a stronger challenge as the season progresses.
Exciting Matches Ahead
As the season enters its next phase, all eyes will be on the top clashes. Will Goa Police maintain their unbeaten streak? Can Dempo continue to outscore their opponents and leapfrog to the top? With close competition across the board, the 2024-25 GPL promises thrilling encounters as the season unfolds.
