After a positive start in Kolkata, Sreenidi Deccan travel to the North East to face newcomers Chanmari FC on Saturday at 6:30 PM. As the only team to secure a win in the opening matchweek, Sreenidi will arrive full of confidence. Chanmari, meanwhile, marked their debut with a hard-fought draw, and their second outing should offer a clearer picture of what this new side is capable of.
Current Standings: With three points, Sreenidi Deccan leads the league standings, meanwhile, Chanmari FC occupies eighth place with a single point.
Head-to-head Record: It will be the first meeting between the teams in the Indian Football League.
There were no debut nerves for Chanmari FC in their first match in the top division. The newcomers held last season’s fourth-placed Gokulam Kerala to a hard-fought goalless draw and arguably looked the better side. Rather than sitting deep, Chanmari matched Gokulam with 10 shot attempts and nearly equal possession (49%), showing plenty of attacking intent.
What they lacked was efficiency in the final third, but their chemistry stood out—slick one-touch passing and strong positional awareness highlighted a well-drilled unit. For a team made up entirely of Indian players, earning a point against a side packed with domestic and international experience was an impressive start.
Chanmari FC Probable XI - Zothanmawia (GK) ; Lalbiaksanga, Renthlei, Malsawmtluanga, Lalruatdika, C. Lalmuanpuia, Lalramengmawia, Malsawmsanga, Vanlalrinchhana, K. Lalruatdika, Suanngaihmawia.
Sreenidi Deccan face another newly promoted side in back-to-back matches and will hope for a similar outcome to their opening win. On match day 1, the Hyderabad-based club edged past Diamond Harbour 1–0 thanks to Cameroonian midfielder Fabrice Kah’s second-half strike.
However, the game could have ended level if not for Aryan Niraj Lamba’s crucial 72nd-minute penalty save after coming on for Bhaskar Roy, who left the field with a non-contact muscle injury. Roy’s availability for the upcoming match remains uncertain.
Sreenidi Deccan Probable XI - Aryan Niraj Lamba (GK); Hardik Bhatt, Muhammad Hammad, Hadi Idrissou, Abhash Thapa, Pape Gassama, Roly Bonevacia, Ajay Chhetri, Fabrice Kah, David Castañeda, Angel Orelien
Sreenidi Deccan head into the clash with confidence, not only after their opening win but also having remained unbeaten in five of their last six I-League matches. Coupled with their strong away record from last season, they start the weekend as favourites. However, Chanmari FC showed impressive defensive solidity in their first game, which could make this a tight and cagey contest where a draw looks a real possibility.
