Churchill Brothers and Shillong Lajong will lock horns in a vital I-League clash at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco da Gama, Goa, on Monday, March 4.
Churchill will be confident of their abilities as they are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 win over Delhi FC. However, the hosts are in the relegation zone at the moment and will want to come out of it.
Lajong, for their part, have been extremely impressive this season, and are currently sixth in the league table with 26 points to their name.
While pushing for a spot in the top four may be beyond them this season, Lajong can very well try to get close to it.
Head coach Bobby Nongbet will be keen on getting a positive result when he goes home from Goa, but it will not be an easy task to displace Churchill Brothers in Goa.
