Kahaani FC hope to change their tale
In search of their first points of the IWL season, Kahaani FC will lock horns with HOPS FC at the TransStadia.
Speaking on their rather abysmal form, the head coach of the Ahmedabad-based side, Lalita Saina, said “We know that the season has been very slow for us, but we still have four matches left. We want to get back in the game and are working on the mistakes we previously made.”
On the other hand, HOPS FC, too, slumped to defeat against Gokulam Kerala FC in their previous fixture and will be looking to bounce back stronger. Head coach Sanjay Singh said: “We take a lot of positives from the last match loss. Despite the defeat, we played well against the champions Gokulam Kerala. We also came close to scoring a couple of goals ourselves. With this confidence and a positive outlook, we look forward to dealing with the next match.”
The match between Kahaani FC and HOPS FC will kick-off at 4:30pm IST.
Sports Odisha look for full points
At the Shahibaug Police Stadium at 4:30pm IST, two teams with contrasting forms, Sports Odisha and Mata Rukmani FC clash heads. After their loss against Gokulam Kerala, Sports Odisha redeemed themselves with a 3-0 win over HOPS FC.
Speaking ahead of the upcoming match, head coach Paromita Sit insisted that her side will look to go all-out against Mata Rukmani. “We will stick to our playing style. The confidence of the players is good now as we won the last game. The players are in good shape and we will go for the win.”
Mata Rukmani FC, however, have seen a series of poor results, without a win in three games. Head coach Santanu Ghosh was confident in his side’s preparations and believes they will be able to find their lost rhythm.
