After Kerala Blasters were officially knocked out of the play-offs race by Hyderabad, FC Goa's win against bottom-placed Odisha has ended East Bengal's hopes of making it to the knockout rounds.
FC Goa defeated Odisha 2-1 on Wednesday to take their tally to 27 points from 18 matches. East Bengal can only get to 26 points if they win all their remaining games and thus, it has become mathematically impossible for the Red and Golds to qualify.
With the race to the top-four heating up at the business end of the season, we take a look at the scenarios of all the nine teams who can still make it to the playoffs this season.
