Real Kashmir and debutants TRAU FC will continue their quest for first win when they clash in an I-league fixture at the Khuman Lampak Stadium here on Sunday.
Real Kashmir, who had finished third in their maiden season last year, had a couple of their games in Srinagar postponed due to inclement weather conditions.
The visitors had drawn against mighty Quess East Bengal (QEB) in a tight opener and they will be yearning for a win here.
Hosts Tiddim Road Athletic Union FC, on the other hand, have had the proverbial baptism by fire in their debut season, coming up against defending champions Chennai City FC and the two Kolkata giants in their first three games -- all of which resulted in defeats.
However, they would take heart from the fact that all three were away games and they improved considerably against the Red & Golds in the last encounter.
"We are excited and ready to go. We are disappointed not to have played more but my team is hungry and ready to get playing again," Kashmir's Scottish gaffer David Robertson said.
"Our preparation has been very good and with the long break, it gave us time to recover from injury and work on certain things. But overall we can't wait to take the field."
"The results need to change. We can't afford to lose more points. We, as a team, know the situation exactly we are in now and everyone is motivated to turn things around. We can only do that by making sure we take three points from Sunday's game."
