Languishing at the bottom of the table, both Dempo FC and Mumbai FC would be desperately looking to bounce back with a victory when they clash in a crucial Hero I-League match, to be played at Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, here tomorrow.
Mumbai FC, who have drawn their last three matches, are just a point above Dempo FC, placed at 10th position with 16 points.
Dempo lost their last two matches but coach Trevor Morgan hopes his team would not repeat the mistakes tomorrow.
"My boys know the seriousness of tomorrow's match and how important it is to win tomorrow as it will push us up the ladder to sixth place and give us breathing ground to save relegation," said Morgan.
The coach said while Dempo were affected by the loss of few of the key players but they must take it in their stride.
"We have lost important players due to injuries during the league, which is one of the reason for our inconsistent performance. Tomorrow also we will be missing Carlos Hernandez and Haroon Amiri. But we have to take things in our stride and play to our best to win," Morgan insisted.
Mumbai FC had lost to Dempo at home earlier but coach Khalid Jamil feels his wards could turn things around tomorrow.
"The boys are performing well in the training sessions and are eager to give their best. One win tomorrow will help them to come out of the relegation," he said.
