A win at Imphal’s Khuman Lampak Main Stadium tomorrow, will ensure a third place finish for Mohammedan Sporting (12 pts). However, a negative result would allow Neroca FC (14 pts) to grab the spot in their debut season.
While Mohammedan Sporting head into the game off the back of a disappointing Kalinga Cup campaign in Cuttack, Odisha, where they lost 4-5 in sudden-death to Army XI in the semifinals, NEROCA beat LoneStar Kashmir FC 3-1 in their last match in Srinagar on Monday, May 23.
The previous encounter at the Mohammedan Sporting Club Ground a month ago resulted in a 2-0 victory for Mohammedan Sporting, with strikers James Moga and Ajay Singh on the scoresheet.
The match in Imphal kicks-off at 2pm on Sunday afternoon.
