Aizawl to Face Indian Arrows at Barabati

Cuttack: Former champions Aizawl FC is all set to face Indian Arrows in what will be a bottom of the table clash of the I-League football tournament at the Barabati Stadium here on Friday. Aizawl go into the game lying ninth on the table with five points from eight games while Arrows bring up the rear with just one win and five losses in the six games they have played so far.

Both teams will be eyeing a win, albeit for completely different reasons. For the side from Meghalaya, this will be the end of a near two-week journey on the road traversing the length and breadth of the country, made more arduous by two deflating back to back defeats.

Coach Gift Raikhan will need to point to the team’s goal-scoring prowess to inspire his lads for one major push towards securing a win before they head back to the comforts of home, where their next three games are lined up over next 30 days. IANS
