Rajasthan FC form and stats
3-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the I-League numbers at home for Rajasthan FC so far this season. When Rajasthan FC hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Sreenidi Deccan, TRAU and Minerva Punjab), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Rajasthan with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Sreenidi Deccan game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Rajasthan FC lost their last game at Sreenidi Deccan (placed 1st) after a 0-2 scoreline.
Heartbreak before that as Rajasthan FC lost 1-2 at Aizawl's place.There will be little rest for Rajasthan after this match as they are travelling to Kenkre for a I-League game in only three days.
Rajasthan FC have conceded 12 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Gokulam form and stats
Gokulam have only collected 5 points from their away games in the I-League, after 1-2-4 (7 played). Recent form does not give Gokulam much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Rajasthan FC will be a tough nut to crack.
There might be some fixture complaints from Gokulam as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against Mohammedan. Gokulam were so close to getting something from the game against Mohammedan, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
A loss against Minerva Punjab was the result prior to that, in a home game.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Gokulam manager Bonet as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Churchill Brothers.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
Head 2 Head
Gokulam - Rajasthan 1-0 was the product when these two sides formerly did battle, some time ago this season.
