Only a few games have been played in the I-League so far, with Aizawl placed 6th and Minerva Punjab sitting in the 3rd position.
It's no vacation for neither Aizawl nor Minerva Punjab as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Minerva Punjab have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
It's quite the trip for Minerva Punjab when visiting Aizawl as the cities are 2700 kilometers apart.
