After back-to-back wins in Madgaon, Dempo SC will be eyeing a perfect three-from-three at home as they prepare to take on Rajasthan United on Sunday at 4 PM.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan head into the clash still searching for their first away victory of the season and will be keen to respond strongly after last weekend’s defeat.
Current Standings: Currently Rajasthan United are placed third in the points table with 14 points, whereas Dempo are down at fifth with nine.
Head-to-Head Record: Rajasthan have won one and drawn one of the two matches played between the teams in the league.
After a shaky start that saw them pick up just two points from their first five matches, Dempo have turned things around impressively, collecting seven points from their last three games.
They arrive on the back of consecutive 3-0 wins, both against Northeast opposition, with the latest coming against Aizawl FC.
Sticking with the same XI that featured against Shillong in match day 7 paid off, as second-half goals from Marcus Joseph, Moreno, and substitute Sebastian Gutierrez sealed another dominant victory.
The surge in form has lifted the Golden Eagles from ninth to fifth, putting them firmly in the qualification zone. Level on points with Aizawl, a win on Sunday would secure their place in the next round.
Dempo SC Probable XI - Ashish Sibi (GK); Mohamed Ali, José Luís Moreno, Shubham Rawat, Amay Morajkar, Nestor Dias, Kapil Hoble, Saiesh Bagkar, Sebastián Gutiérrez, Marcus Joseph, and Richmond Kwasi Owusu.
In a feisty, action-packed contest that saw both sides reduced to ten men, Rajasthan United fell 2-1 to Sreenidi Deccan.
P.P. Shafeel’s red card early in the second half put them on the back foot, but they showed resilience to level through Isaac Nortey—only to concede soon after and let points slip.
Head coach Vikrant Sharma rang in six changes to the XI, with Nortey among those brought in, but the heavy rotation seemed to disrupt their rhythm at times.
Despite already securing qualification, a more balanced lineup is likely on Sunday, with at least one enforced change following Shafeel’s suspension.
Rajasthan United Probable XI - Thakuri (GK); Shafeel, Gill, Ango, Ambekar, Virwani , Naoba Meitei, Fernandez, Nortey, Shimray, Amadou Soukouna.
Despite all their tactical tweaks this season, Rajasthan United are yet to find a winning formula on the road. They’ve lost their last two away matches and have managed just one win in their previous nine league outings away from home.
In contrast, Dempo SC have turned their home ground into a fortress, remaining unbeaten this season and stretching that run to six matches in the I-League. Given the stark contrast in home and away form, Dempo look well placed to come out on top.
