In a clash between the newly promoted sides, Diamond Harbour host Chanmari FC on Saturday at 6:30 PM.
While the hosts have already secured qualification and can play with freedom, the pressure is firmly on Chanmari, who are still chasing a spot in the top six.
However, their inconsistent form makes this a challenging task or one should say an uphill battle.
Current Standings: Diamond maintain their grip on the top spot with 16 points, leaving Chanmari trailing in seventh with eight.
Head-to-Head Record: It's the first meeting between the teams in the competition.
Diamond Harbour head into this clash on the back of a pulsating nine-goal win over Namdhari.
The Harbour boys raced into an early two-goal lead, only to be pegged back twice, showing moments of vulnerability.
But when it mattered most, they stepped up—striking late through Renthlei and Narzary to seal a deserved victory and strengthen their position at the top with five wins, a draw, and a loss.
Meanwhile, Antonio Moyano emerged from the game as the standout performer, contributing a goal and two assists, taking his tally to eight goal involvements (4G+4A) this season.
Diamond Harbour FC Probable XI - Dheeraj Singh (GK); Robilal Mandi, Y.N Singh, Mikel Kortazar, Ramfangzauva, Sunday Afolabi, Lalliansanga Renthlei, Antonio Moyano, Halicharan Narzary, Jobby Justin, Luka Majcen.
Things aren’t looking promising for the Blues, with just one win in their last five matches and three defeats in that run.
On top of that, the Blues sit outside the qualification zone to the next stage, level on points with sixth-placed Gokulam Kerala, and can ill-afford a slip-up. Realistically, at least one win from their final two matches is essential but both fixtures come away from home.
That poses a challenge, especially with two defeats in their last three away games. However, their most recent outing on the road—a 2-1 win over Real Kashmir—offers a timely boost and something they will look to build on heading into this crucial clash.
Chanmari FC Probable XI - Zothanmawia (GK); Lalruatdika, Ralte, Kamei, Degelman, Rangel, Badu, Tche, Vanlalrinchhana, Malsawmsanga, Suanngaihmuana.
While this rivalry is still in its early stages in the Indian football circuit, the two sides did cross paths in the third division last season—and Diamond Harbour came out on top both times, keeping clean sheets in each encounter.
Though Chanmari can take some encouragement from Diamond Harbour’s inconsistent home form (W L), but based on current momentum and past meetings, the hosts still head into this clash as clear favourites.
