Margao: Churchill Brothers would look to continue their winning run when they take on Indian Arrows in their second home I-League match here on Saturday.
Churchill, who played their last match on December 12 against Mohun Bagan in Kolkata, are coming in to Saturday’s match on the back of a 16-day break due to the postponement of their game against Real Kashmir FC scheduled for December 15 on account of inclement weather conditions in Srinagar.
They have been on an unbeaten streak, defeating Punjab FC and Mohun Bagan with comfortable scorelines of 3-0 and 4-2. Star striker Willis Plaza has been in tremendous form and he has already scored three goals from two matches, including a brace against Mohun Bagan. Speaking on the eve of the match, Churchill Brothers head coach Bernardo Tavares said, “Indian Arrows team is a well-organized defensive unit that does not concede many goals. In the three games they have played so far, they have always lost by the slightest difference, showing that they are a team that defends well and it will be difficult to score goals against them.
Indian Arrows, on the other hand, have not yet opened their account in the league but have shown immense organisation in their defence.
All the matches have gone down to the wire and they have lost only by the slightest of margins. (PTI)
