TEAMS PREVIEW

Shillong Lajong FC Preview

Shillong Lajong have built a reputation for being tough to beat at home, and they proved it again with a 1–1 draw against a strong Rajasthan United side, extending their unbeaten home run to ten matches. Despite fielding an all-Indian squad, the Red Dragons showed confidence and even took the lead through Mylliempdah’s first-half strike.

Shillong controlled much of the game with 54% possession, more shot attempts (4), and seven chances created. If they maintain that level—especially against a Real Kashmir side that looked shaky defensively in their last outing—the goals could follow. 

Shillong Lajong Probable XI - ​Siwel Rymbai (GK), Kitboklang Khyriem, Rudra Ved, Saveme Tariang, Kenstar Kharshong, Damaitphang Lyngdoh, Gladdy Kharbuli, Lamlallian, Figo Syndai, Everbrightson Mylliempdah, and Phrangki Buam. 

Real Kashmir FC Preview

Real Kashmir, meanwhile, were involved in a far more dramatic opener, battling to a 2–2 draw. After taking the lead, they fell behind around the hour mark before showing resilience to equalise late. Shedrack Charles and Mohammad Inam scored the goals for the Snow Leopards.

Goalkeeper Sayed Abdul Kadir was the standout performer, making seven saves as his side faced 18 shots. Despite limited chances, Real Kashmir were clinical, converting 40% of their opportunities. A similar counterattacking approach against a possession-heavy Shillong side could help them push for a valuable away result.

Real Kashmir Probable XI - ​Sayad Bin Abdul Kadir (GK); Hyder Yousuf Wani, Mamoud Oshie, Oinam Sanatomba Singh, Carlos Singh, Mohammed Inam, Issah Yakubu, Seijoseph Haokip, Moirangthem Rohen Singh, Adou Karim Fofana, and Shedrack Charles. 

SHILLONG LAJONG FC vs REAL KASHMIR FC
Winning Prediction

Shillong Lajong’s strong home record and their 1–0 win in this fixture last season will give the Red Dragons confidence. However, victories have been rare for them lately, with just one win in their last nine league matches. Real Kashmir, meanwhile, have been difficult to beat, losing only once in their last seven games. With both sides evenly matched, a narrow win for either team—or even a draw—looks likely.  

We predict a draw (1-1)
