Rahmatgonj MFS to Host Mohammedan Dhaka in Federation Cup Clash

DHAKA, Bangladesh (Interstat) — Rahmatgonj MFS will face Mohammedan Dhaka in a Federation Cup match Tuesday, May 5, 2026, with both sides looking to rebound from recent losses and gain momentum in Bangladesh’s premier knockout competition.

Mohammedan Dhaka enters the game as the favorite, with Interstat’s game simulator projecting a 3-1 victory and the ELO system giving the visitors a 59.90 percent probability of winning.

The teams last met Dec. 27, 2025, playing to a 1-1 draw in Dhaka. That result extended a pattern of tightly contested matches; the two sides have alternated draws and narrow outcomes in recent years.

Mohammedan Dhaka (5-4-3 in its last 12 competitive matches) is coming off a 2-1 loss to Bashundhra Kings on Thursday, April 30. The defeat snapped a two-match winning streak that included a 3-1 victory at PWD SC on April 25 and a 4-0 rout of Arambagh KS on April 21. Prior to those wins, Mohammedan fell 2-1 to Abahani on April 10, drew 1-1 with Bangladesh Police on March 13, and lost 2-1 to Fortis FC on March 7.

Rahmatgonj MFS (3-4-5 in its last 12) lost 3-2 to Fortis FC on Friday, May 1, after playing to a 0-0 draw with Fakirerpool YMC on April 28 and suffering a 1-0 defeat to Arambagh on April 24. The team’s last victory came April 14, a 2-0 win over PWD SC, which followed a 2-0 loss to the same opponent on April 10. Rahmatgonj also drew 1-1 with Abahani on March 10 and played to the 1-1 draw with Mohammedan in December.

Both teams have struggled for consistency this season. Mohammedan Dhaka’s attack has been potent at times (Interstat) — scoring 12 goals in its last five matches (Interstat) — but the defense has conceded six goals in its last three outings. Rahmatgonj has scored just four goals in its last six matches while allowing seven.

The Federation Cup, organized by the Bangladesh Football Federation, serves as the country’s primary domestic knockout tournament. Tuesday’s match will be played at Rahmatgonj’s home venue, though the specific stadium has not been announced.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. local time.
