The season is still fairly new and the I-League table has to be read with caution. So far TRAU find themselves in 2nd position and Minerva Punjab are placed 9th.
- TRAU has the most dropped points from leading position (4) in I-League
- Minerva Punjab has the fewest scored goals in the second half (0) in I-League
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
TRAU form and stats
Only two I-League home games for TRAU so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
TRAU drew their last game, 1-1 away at Churchill Brothers (placed 1st). Ahead of that match, TRAU won a home game hosting Chennai City (2-0).
This is expected to be a close game, with TRAU perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with TRAU as a small favourite), we find four games. TRAU has won two of these, drawn two and lost zero.
TRAU has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Minerva Punjab form and stats
Minerva Punjab have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the I-League were 0 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats from 9 fixtures.
Minerva have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 316 minutes ago. R. Nongrum was the goal scorer. The Minerva goalkeeper Kiran Chemzong Kumar Limbu is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 185 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Minerva Punjab's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Sudeva that finished 0-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Minerva Punjab playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were zero Minerva wins, three draws and three defeats.
3 goals so far away for Minerva Punjab, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 1 league match away.
