In a clash between two in-form top-half sides, Rajasthan FC host Diamond Harbour on Thursday at 4 PM. Both teams come in high on confidence after securing clean-sheet victories, setting the stage for a fiercely contested encounter where neither side is likely to give much away.
Current Standings: Diamond Harbour sit at the top of the league table with nine points, while Rajasthan are third with seven points.
Head-to-Head Record: It's the first meeting between the teams in the competition.
Just like in their previous outing against Namdhari, Amadou Soukouna proved decisive once again, with the French striker’s early strike sealing a 1-0 win for Rajasthan over Real Kashmir.
Coupled with Kashmir being reduced to 10 men, the Desert Warriors were able to control the game and see it through comfortably.
It marked back-to-back home wins for a side that had lost just twice all season, underlining that Rajasthan have picked up right where they left off.
Five of the last seven matches involving Rajasthan United FC have seen both teams score a goal.
Rajasthan United FC Probable XI - Bhabindra Malla Thakuri (GK); Ambekar, Gursimrat Singh Gill, Shafeel PP, Abhishek Ambekar, Abdul Samed Ango, Jonathan Fernandes, Pedro Astray, Joseph Lalvenhima, Thomyo Shimray, Amadou Soukouna.
Elsewhere, Diamond Harbour extended their fine form with a third straight win, overcoming Aizawl FC in a performance built on efficiency rather than dominance.
Despite a tightly contested game, they made their chances count, scoring twice in the second half from just three shots on target.
What made the victory even more impressive was their ability to keep Luka Majcen quiet after his recent brace, but Diamond Harbour found a new hero in Antonio Moyano, whose double sealed all three points.
The result caps a remarkable run for the debutants, sending them to the top of the table, two points clear of second-placed Shillong Lajong.
Diamond Harbour Probable XI - Dheeraj Singh (GK); N Singh, Melroy Assisi, Mikel Kortazar, Mittal, Sunday Afolabi, Robilal Mandi, Bryce Miranda, Ramdhintara, Antonio Moyano, Luka Majcen.
After conceding five goals in their previous two games, the clean sheet against Real Kashmir will come as a welcome relief for the Rajasthan coach, albeit aided by favourable circumstances. The real test, however, comes against a high-flying Diamond Harbour side that boasts the league’s best attack and currently sits atop the table.
Rajasthan can take confidence from their formidable home form, having won five in a row, but Diamond Harbour’s perfect away record ensures this clash is finely poised—something has to give on Thursday.
