The All India Football Federation developmental side, the Indian Arrows will host Shillong Lajong FC in an I-League encounter on Tuesday, December 26 at the Dr. Ambedkar Stadium in New Delhi at 2pm. The match will be telecast live on Star Sports 2/Star Sports 2 HD/Hotstar App/Jio TV.
Shillong Lajong FC will be heading into tomorrow’s clash after suffering their first home defeat against NEROCA FC. The Reds were dominant especially in the second half and had many chances but in the end, the Orange Brigade were lucky to convert their chance through Subhash Singh and took away the three points.
Unfortunately for Lajong FC, they have dropped into fourth position in the standings with 10 points from three wins, a draw and a loss.
The Reds are staying positive and are hopeful of getting back to winning ways on Tuesday when they face off Luis Norton de Matos’ troops and better their position in the I-League.
Shillong Lajong FC head coach Bobby Nongbet said, “Our boys are set and ready for the game. We are equally a young side in the league. It will be an interesting match and we need 3 points and will try out best to get it.”
“Indian Arrows is a young, fast and a very good side. We will not underestimate them of their past outings. Our boys will go all out and give 100 percent”, Bobby added.
The Indian Arrows is currently in the ninth position in the I-League standings with three points. They began their campaign on a winning note against Chennai City FC but since then they have gone down, encountering three back to back losses against Minerva Punjab FC (twice) and Gokulam Kerala FC. Also, the Indian Arrows haven’t been able to score in their last three matches despite winning their first by three goals to nil.
Most of players in the squad were part of the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup team that represented the country and are a talented bunch. A mix of both one of the best Under-17 and Under-19 players in the country makes this team very competitive in the I-League.
