Royal Wahingdoh FC to take on Shillong Lajong FC in I-League

Host Royal Wahingdoh FC will miss their star striker Jackichand Singh for the return leg of the city derby as they host Shillong Lajong FC at the J N Stadium here tomorrow.
Both teams return home after a draw each in their crucial away matches against the table toppers Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC.
The visitors are coming into this fixture after playing out a goalless draw against Mohun Bagan last week in Kolkata, while the host returned from a 3-3 draw against Bengaluru FC.
The Santosh Kashyap side is heading into this fixture after playing a goalless draw against bottom-placed team Sporting Clube De Goa on Tuesday. The Shillong outfit is in the third position with 22 points.

The I-League debutantes are having an incredible first season after making a great start to the league and are currently head to head on points with Bengaluru FC.
Since the I-League resumed after the break, Lajong have remained unbeaten so far. They defeated Mumbai FC 6-0 in a high-scoring encounter.
While the hosts will miss Jackichand Singh, Lajong FC on the other hand will miss Boithang Haokip, their spot-kick specialist.
