Shillong Lajong will be seeking an elusive victory when take on Aizawl FC in front of their home fans in the I-League here tomorrow.
Lajong have managed only two wins in their 11 matches which has seen them rooted to the bottom of the I-League table with 11 points. However, with four teams --including Aizawl -- locked at 12 points each, a win
at the Jawaharlal Nehru
Stadium will see the hosts climb to the fifth position.
"Positives are the youngsters graduating and proving that they are good enough for the League. Also the team spirit is good that will help us fight and do better in the remaining 5 matches," Lajong coach Thangboi Singto said on the the eve of the match.
The coach also informed that the team have made full use of the international break and have worked on those aspects which still need improvements.
Lajong have played several matches without their key foreign players. Penn Orji is the only foreign player who has started in every match. Fabio and Uilliams have also had their share of problems with injuries this season and thus the team lacked the attacking prowess upfront.
To add to Singto's woes, Yusuke Yamagata is out of consideration because of his prolonged injury.
