TEAMS PREVIEW

Sreenidi Deccan FC Preview

Sreenidi Deccan began their home run with a frustrating yet respectable draw against Namdhari FC, dominating proceedings but lacking the finishing touch. With 74% possession, 20 shots and 14 chances created, they controlled the game but fell behind to a moment of individual brilliance.

Their persistence finally paid off in the 79th minute, when centre-back Hadi Idrissou equalised from a corner. Despite the strong attacking display, coach Manuel Vaz Pinto will be concerned about his side’s inefficiency in front of goal, having yet to score more than once in a game this season. Notably, he stuck with the same XI from the previous match.

Sreenidi Deccan Probable XI - Kamaljit Singh (GK); Bhatt, Deepak D.P., Hadi Idrissou, Jagdeep Singh, Lalromawia, Ajay Chhetri, Papa Gassama, Abhijith K., David Castañeda, Fabrice Kah.  

Dempo Sports Club Preview

Dempo endured a disappointing outing in MD4, falling 2-0 to a struggling Gokulam Kerala and undoing the positives from their 2-2 draw with Chanmari. It was a scrappy contest marked by more fouls than clear chances, with 38 fouls (Dempo accounted for 13 fouls) in total and little attacking rhythm, especially from the Goans.

They were fortunate the margin wasn’t wider, thanks to Ashish Sibi’s brilliant show with the gloves that included a penalty save. The defeat sees Dempo slip to the bottom of the table, level on points with Real Kashmir. Coach Samir Naik, who made four changes to the XI, may be tempted to reshuffle once again in search of a response. 

Dempo SC Probable XI - Ashish Sibi (GK); Daniel Muthu, Mohamed Ali, José Luís Moreno, Saiesh Bagkar, Aubin Kouakou, Amay Morajkar,Vinay Harji, Sebastián Gutiérrez, Nestor Dias, Marcus Joseph.

Winning Prediction

Dempo face a stern test against a top-half side on their home turf, especially having lost both their away games this season, a worrying dip from last year when they boasted one of the league’s best away records.

Sreenidi Deccan, meanwhile, have been tough to beat in any setting, but turning draws into wins—particularly at home—remains an issue, with just one victory in their last nine. That vulnerability could offer Dempo a glimmer of hope and add intrigue to the contest.
