Sudeva Delhi FC hope for first points, Mohammedan seek elusive away win

NEW DELHI: Sudeva Delhi FC will go up against Mohammedan Sporting in their Hero I-League 2022-23 fixture at the Chhatrasal Stadium on Thursday.

The hosts have had a torrid start to the season, suffering seven straight losses since the opening day, and are yet to add a point to their tally ahead of their last match before the winter break. However, all hope is not lost for the side as they seek a win that would breathe new life into their campaign. Additionally, winning three points on Thursday could put Sudeva only four points behind the teams immediately above them, that too with the home side having an extra game in hand.

Mohammedan Sporting, last Friday, parted ways with head coach Andrey Chernyshov and on the same evening, recorded an impressive 1-0 win at home against Real Kashmir to end a run of three games without a win. Currently in the lower half of the league standings, the Black and White Brigade will go all out for a positive result in order to get their season back on track and also fix their dismal away record, which has seen them lose all four matches on the road so far.

The two teams have played each other twice in past I-League editions, with Mohammedan coming out on top on both occasions.

Head coach Sankarlal Chakraborty, who also joined the club less than a week ago, said that his charges are getting stronger mentally. IANS
