TEAMS PREVIEW

Dempo Sports Club Preview

It was another frustrating outing for Dempo SC, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Namdhari FC despite dominating proceedings. The Goans registered 23 shots and created three times as many chances as their opponents, yet had only a ninth-minute penalty from Marcus Joseph to show for their efforts.

While Joseph’s goal took his tally to four for the season, Dempo’s lack of cutting edge remains a concern, with just two goals in their last three matches. Defensively too, issues persist—they have conceded in all six games so far and, with 12 goals let in, are among the most vulnerable sides in the league.

Dempo SC Probable XI - Ashish Sibi (GK); Kapil Hoble, Jose Moreno, Brian Faria, Sanwil D'Costa, Nestor Dias, Pratik Singh, Vieri Colaco, Laxmanrao Pranay, Richmond Kwasi Owusu, Marcus Joseph.  

Shillong Lajong FC Preview

Shillong Lajong, in contrast, have looked far more balanced, with no major concerns at either end of the pitch. While not overly prolific—eight goals in six matches—their results have been steady, including a hard-fought goalless draw against Sreenidi Deccan, where both goalkeepers impressed, with Siwel Rymbai standing out.

Their away form has been particularly encouraging, with two wins and a draw so far. Facing a struggling Dempo SC side next, the Northeast outfit will be confident of picking up another three points—potentially enough to hold their position at the top, depending on other results.

Shillong Lajong Probable XI - ​Siwel Rymbai (GK); Rudra Ved, Saveme Tariang, Kenstar Kharshong, Samuel Muansang, Tremiki Lamurong, Damaitphang Lyngdoh, Gladdy Kharbuli, Lamlallian, Everbrightson Mylliempdah, Phrangki Buam.

Winning Prediction

It doesn’t look promising for Dempo SC heading into this clash, with just one win in their last eight league matches. Given their current situation, they will need to be far more proactive and clinical to turn things around.

In contrast, Shillong Lajong  have been in strong form, going unbeaten in seven of their last eight games and already matching their away win tally from last season. Considering the contrasting momentum, Shillong Lajong appear well-placed to come away with all three points.
