Since upgrading the squad, Rangdajied United had back-to-back draws against Shillong Lajong and Mumbai FC, but are still looking for their first win in the I-League. With just 5 draws from 10 matches, the 2nd Division champions rest at the bottom of the table with 5 points.
On the other hand, the Mariners are better placed than their Meghalaya counterpart at 9 with 11 points, courtesy of the 3 wins and 2 draws. But the fact that the National Clubs have not won since their 1-0 win against Mumbai FC on October 26 should come as a relieve for the Shillong side.
For Rangdajied, Subrata Paul will once again guard the goal, aided in the central defence by the experience Gouramangi Singh and Lamine Tamba. Thomas Saikhom and Yohei Iwasaki, who have extremely been doing well, will feature on either side of the backline.
