Competition: Sat 06.March
Match begins: 13:30 (UTC)
Venue: Kalyani Stadium (27300 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the I-League, Arrows holding 11th place and NEROCA lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Arrows have the fewest scored goals (6) in I-League
  • NEROCA have scored more than double the goals of Arrows.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as NEROCA have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Arrows form and stats

When playing at home in the I-League, Arrows, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in I-League, have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 5 games.

The Arrows fans got no joy from their last match, a I-League game also here at Kalyani Stadium: A 1-5 defeat against TRAU. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Gokulam (0-4).

Arrows were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Arrows are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Arrows have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
