Shillong, April 15: Shillong Lajong FC will face Mohammedan Sporting on Wednesday as a crucial I-League match awaits the teams at the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata at 3:00pm.
Thangboi Singto and his men will be looking to do a double over Mohammedan Sporting, as the two teams previously met in November last year with Lajong winning by a scoreline of 2-1.
The Reds are in the seventh position with 29 points and are heading into this match after a 2-1 defeat at home to Mumbai FC on the 30th of March. But the team will put this behind them and go all out for tomorrow’s match and settle for nothing less than a win as three points will spring them up to 5th position.
Meanwhile, Mohammedan Sporting who have been struggling at the bottom throughout this season are placed in the 12th position with 21 points.
However, the Black Panthers will look to make full use of the home advantage more so the squad is now boosted with a lot of confidence after they registered a 2-1 win over Rangdajied United on Sunday.
Head Coach of Shillong Lajong FC Thangboi Singto wants to finish the League strongly and tomorrow will no doubt be a very crucial game for the Reds.
He said, “The loss to Mumbai FC should be a motivating factor for the players to play well and get a good result against Mohammedan Sporting. We need to play as a Team in order to get a positive result.”(SP News)
