Real Kashmir and East Bengal meet in a crucial I-League match to be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Thursday.

With both teams locked on 33 points, it is important to win this contest to stay in contention for the title, which, as of now, looks firmly placed in the lap of Chennai City, sitting on top of the table with 40 points from 18 matches.

Real Kashmir coach, David Robertson said, “We are in a good momentum, getting the results, playing well. Both the teams want to play and win.

“It's been a fantastic journey, unbeaten away from home. No better way to keep the benchmark by playing against East Bengal.”

East Bengal head coach Alejandro noted, “When you play again in a short span of time less than 72 hours, it is not enough to get high quality from our players, but we are fully motivated and almost recovered from the last match. We are ready to play tomorrow.”
