Competition: India I-League
Date: Sat 08.February
Match begins: 13:30 (UTC)
Venue: EMS Stadium

Gokulam and Real Kashmir have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the I-League.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Real Kashmir have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-4-2 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
