It's still early in the I-League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Aizawl - Arrows preview!
It's no vacation for neither Aizawl nor Arrows 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.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Arrows's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Arrows have performed like this: Played seven matches resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats with the goal stats 5-9 (scored/conceded).
It's quite the trip for Arrows when visiting Aizawl as the cities are 1800 kilometers apart.
Aizawl form and stats
The hosts won their first I-League game here at Kalyani Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Aizawl last season were 1 win, 4 draws and 1 loss from 6 games.
Aizawl's last game was hosting Gokulam (placed 10th) and winning 2-0. Heartbreak before that as Aizawl lost 0-1 at Minerva Punjab's place.
At Kalyani Stadium, Aizawl has the goal stats of 2-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Arrows form and stats
Arrows have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the I-League were 2 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats from 8 fixtures. Three has not been a lucky number for Arrows as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Churchill Brothers match.
Arrows are looking to quickly end their 248 minutes long goal drought in the I-League.
Arrows might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. NEROCA proved too strong as Arrows slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Kalinga Stadium. Prior to that match, the Arrows manager S. Venkatesh faced defeat when travelling to Sudeva and losing 0-3.
Arrows lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Arrows has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Last five meetings between the teams: Aizawl won two, Arrows won one and two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
