- Drawing of lots
Jamshedpur FC (M-19, P-40)
Matches left - Odisha FC, ATK Mohun Bagan
Owen Coyle's team can win the ISL League Shield if they do not lose to ATK by two or more goals.
ATK Mohun Bagan (M-19, P-37)
Match left - Jamshedpur FC
ATK Mohun Bagan must beat Jamshedpur FC by a two-goal margin and then both teams will have 40 points each. Since ATKMB lost 2-1 in the first phase, they need to overturn that deficit. So in the end, if they are locked with Jamshedpur on points (40) then a better head-to-head record will save their skin.
