Durand Cup 2022: Rajasthan United vs Indian Navy prediction
With Rajasthan United needing nothing less than a win, we expect the team to play an all-out style of football. While this might expose them to concede, we expect them to be on the other side of scoring too and beat their opponents.
The Indian Navy have managed to score only once in three games, and that will give RUFC the confidence to hold their opposition down.
Prediction: Rajasthan United 2 - 1 Indian Navy
