With their 2 point advantage in the league table, Churchill Brothers fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against NEROCA.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a I-League game only four days ago. That game, against Minerva Punjab, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for NEROCA.
NEROCA have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
