Minerva, Lajong look to get back to winning ways

Shillong Lajong FC travel to Ludhiana to face Minerva Punjab FC in the round 13 game of I-League On Tuesday. While the hosts had to deal with a narrow 0-1 defeat to Bengaluru FC, Lajong were on the receiving end to a rare defeat at home to the league leaders East Bengal.

Head coach of Shillong Lajong FC Thangboi Singto sounded pretty confident on finishing at a respectable position this season as he said, "Our best finish in I-League history was 6th place and right now we are definitely going to fight for top finish this season."

"This isn't my first visit here. I was here already when we played and lost to JCT, after Baljit Saini's hat-trick", added Thangboi Singto.

On being asked about whether three back-to-back away games are going to be taxing for his boys, Singto stated that it will be a tough ride against these three teams who are performing very well at the moment. "We played Minerva at home already, it was a tough game, but goals win you games. We are ready for the challenge on Tuesday (Tuesday)."

The game will begin at 7pm on Tuesday.
