I-League Standings & Stats

The I-League 26/27 is India's top-tier football competition, featuring a 2025 season that runs from February 27 to May 23, 2026. After 9 matchdays, Diamond Harbour sits at the top of the table with a 5-point lead. Below we analyze the standings, title probabilities, season statistics, and match predictions.

I-League Table

Diamond Harbour dominates the I-League table with 22 points from 9 matches (7 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). Their attacking output of 22 goals is the highest in the league. Shillong Lajong FC and Rajasthan United share 17 points each, but Shillong Lajong holds the tiebreaker advantage in second place. The race for the top spots remains tight between these three sides.

Further down, Sreenidi Deccan (15 points) stays in contention for potential Asian competition slots. In the bottom half, Chanmari FC Lunglei (11 points) occupies fifth, while Dempo SC and Aizawl FC are tied at 9 points each, hovering near the relegation zone with defensive records showing 14 and 22 goals conceded respectively.

Favorites & Title Chances

Based on current standings, points gaps, and goal difference, here are the estimated title chances for the main contenders:

• Diamond Harbour – 60%: A 5-point cushion after 9 matchdays, combined with a strong +10 goal difference and only one loss, makes them the clear favorite. If they maintain their winning momentum and avoid injuries to key players, the schedule heavily favors them.
• Shillong Lajong FC – 20%: With 17 points and a solid +7 goal difference, they are the most likely challenger. To overtake Diamond Harbour, they must win the direct clash and hope the leader drops points against mid-table teams.
• Rajasthan United – 15%: Also on 17 points but with a slightly weaker goal difference (+3). Their title chances rely on consistent results and capitalizing on any slip-up from the top two.

The remaining 5% is distributed among Sreenidi Deccan and other teams, requiring an extraordinary collapse from the top three.
