TEAMS PREVIEW

Dempo Sports Club Preview

After seven games, Dempo SC finally clicked and did so in style. The Goans produced a commanding display to beat Shillong Lajong 3-0, marking their first win of the campaign. 

Marcus Joseph set the tone early with a sixth-minute opener, continuing his fine form with his third goal of the season. 

An own goal and a second-half penalty further tilted the game in Dempo’s favour, with a touch of fortune complementing their dominance.

More importantly, it was a complete performance from the Golden Eagles, who also secured their first clean sheet. Still unbeaten at home, Dempo will now believe they have a real shot at breaking into the top six, especially with their remaining fixtures set to be played on home turf.

Dempo SC Probable XI - ​Ashish Sibi (GK); Mohamed Ali, José Luís Moreno, Shubham Rawat, Amay Morajkar, Nestor Dias, Kapil Hoble, Saiesh Bagkar, Sebastián Gutiérrez, Marcus Joseph, and Richmond Kwasi Owusu. 

Aizawl FC Preview

Aizawl FC can count themselves fortunate to have come away with a point against Sreenidi Deccan, having been thoroughly outplayed for large stretches. 

With just 39% possession, only two shots on target, and facing 18 attempts, they were constantly under pressure. 

Sreenidi’s high press disrupted their usual passing rhythm, forcing Aizawl to go long, though it eventually paid off with an equaliser, albeit via an own goal.

The draw keeps Aizawl in the top six for now, keeping their qualification hopes alive. However, with their final two matches away from home—where they are yet to win this season—they face a tough challenge to hold on to that spot.

Aizawl FC Probable XI - Vanlalhriatpuia (GK); Timur Talipov, Luis Rodríguez, Laldanmawia, Rohmingthanga; Lalrempuia, Lalawmpuia Sailo, Laltlanzova, Tluanga; Vincent Lalhriatpuia, Malsawmzuala Tlangte.

Winning Prediction

It’s a must-win scenario for Dempo, and such pressure can either inspire or overwhelm. Based on their confident showing against Shillong, they seem more likely to rise to the occasion, especially with the added boost of playing at home. Not to mention the last time these two played each other, Dempo walked away with a 5-2 victory. 

Aizawl, meanwhile, have struggled on the road, managing just two wins in their last 14 away games. Taking everything into account, Dempo appear better placed to edge this contest.
