Gokulam Kerala FC and former champions Aizawl FC will renew their search for victory when they clash in their I-league fixture at the Rajiv Gandhi stadium in Aizwal on Saturday.
Gokulam have not won in four games and Aizawl have not won in three. Both need a victory on Saturday to boost their confidence and for Gokulam in particular, to get their title hopes back on track.
The visitors will be reeling from their previous game defeat to the youngsters from Indian Arrows after promising much early on.
They have 10 points from nine games and a win on Saturday will surely resurrect their title chances.
For hosts Aizawl, it has been a season to forget under the tutelage of coach Gift Raikhan. They have just one victory and are 10th out of 11 teams currently with six points from nine games.
"Tomorrow is a very important match for us as both of us will be playing our tenth match," Gift Raikhan said.
"We have a new international player from Uganda named Richard. Alfred Jaryan will be playing in midfield for tomorrow's match. Mapuia is back and will be playing tomorrow. We will look to collect three points." Gokulam's problems have stemmed from their backline which has conceded 12 goals so far, so while they have scored 11 times, it has been largely neutralised by an insipid defence.
Aizawl have not only conceded 15 but have also scored just nine giving an impression that they have not only come together as a side.
Coach Bino might want to ensure that some of his local players, who showed spark in the initial stages get proper game time.
So the likes of Rajesh, Suhair and Arjun Jairaj getting proper 90 minutes will surely be in his mind.
"We have learnt some lessons from our last matches that we have lost. We don't have a striker like Antonio German who left us just before the East Bengal match," Bino said.
"We have a new player from Joel Sunday who has just joined us and we hope that he scores for us. Having said that, Aizawl has been playing well lately." While Aizawl's defence is inexperienced and a definite problem area, Gift
Raikhan has, like his Gokulam counterpart, tried many in midfield and attack, but would have liked to have them settled at this stage of the league.
All in all, it will surely be a game of high intensity, given both teams have lots riding on it with the league almost half over.
