Ankit ⁢Sharma, Senior ‍Editor‌ at world-today-news.com,⁣ sits‌ down with football analyst Priya Singh to ⁢discuss the heated competition at the Santosh Trophy in Hyderabad.

ankit sharma: Priya, the Santosh Trophy is reaching a ‍fever pitch.‍ With Bengal and kerala already through,​ the remaining ten teams are jostling for‌ those precious six quarterfinal spots. Who are you tipping to make⁤ it?

Priya Singh: It’s ⁤incredibly tight, Ankit. In Group A, Manipur ‌looks strong with 7 ​points. They’ve ‍got ⁤tough matches ⁤against⁢ Bengal and Telangana, but a draw in either should be enough⁢ to secure their passage. Services, the ​defending ​champions, are right behind them with 6 points. They need ‌a ‍win to⁢ be sure,but their experience could⁤ see them through.

Ankit Sharma: What ⁣about Group B?⁣ Delhi is in a good position, but their match against Kerala tomorrow is crucial.

Priya Singh: ⁤Absolutely. A win for Delhi⁣ against a Kerala side already through‌ would be massive. ‌ Meghalaya, Goa, and Odisha are all in the⁤ mix too, ⁤but they ⁤need to string together some wins. Tamil Nadu has⁣ a slim chance, ⁣ needing⁣ to‍ win both their remaining matches –⁢ a tall order.

Ankit Sharma: With Kerala ⁢already⁢ guaranteed a ‍quarterfinal‌ spot, will they⁢ rest‌ some key ⁢players in‍ their remaining matches?

Priya ​Singh: That’s possible. They might use ⁢the opportunity to give some of their younger‌ players⁤ valuable experience ⁤and see what they can do at this‌ level.
