The Minerva Punjab & Mohun Bagan managers Y. Law and J. Vicuña are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the I-League league table.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a I-League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Real Kashmir, so at least Minerva Punjab are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's quite the trip for Mohun Bagan when visiting Minerva Punjab as the cities are 1800 kilometers apart.
