An important duel in the bottom section of the A Division, with both Friends Club and Saraswoti Youth experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 14th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
