Real Kashmir host East Bengal as race for I-League second spot heats up

Real Kashmir FC would look to ride on their impressive form at home when they host East Bengal here on Monday as the race for second spot heats up in the I-League.

Real Kashmir FC are currently placed third with 22 points from 14 games and a win on Monday at the TRC Ground can take them to second spot. They were coming into the match after beating Neroca FC by a solitary goal.

The Snow Leopards, who have excelled in counter-attacking football and converting set-pieces to win games, will be looking another strong show at home. They had lost just once in their six previous matches at home.

Speaking on the eve of the match, Real Kashmir FC's Mason Robertson said, "It is an important match for us. They have not lost a match in the last five encounters and are looking like a much stronger side than before."
"Real Kashmir is a great team -- both home and away. In the first game, they made things very difficult for us and we know their strengths while playing at home. It will be a difficult yet entertaining game."
