It's early days in the I-League and both Churchill Brothers and TRAU are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Churchill Brothers is in the best form (3-1-0)
- TRAU has the most dropped points from leading position (4) in I-League
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a I-League match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Sudeva, was also a home game here at Kalyani Stadium. The away team is better rested.

The Churchill goalkeeper Shibinraj Kunniyil is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 338 minutes without conceding a goal in the I-League.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Minerva Punjab and winning 1-0.
