Shillong Lajong vs Namdhari Prediction

Shillong Lajong have had a solid run this season barring the previous two fixtures. Moreover, they have done a good job against the teams sitting lower than them in the points table.

On the other hand, Namdhari have shown glimpses of brilliance here and there but they have lacked consistency in their game. It could come back to haunt them against Shillong Lajong.

Prediction: Shillong Lajong are expected to win this game.
