KOLKATA, Feb 28: High-flying Gokulam Kerala aim to extend their winning streak of three games when they take on unbeaten Churchill Brothers on Monday at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan Stadium.
Churchill Brothers won their second match on the trot by beating NEROCA FC 1-0. The victory extended their lead over Real Kashmir on the top of the table to two points.
With both Kashmir and Gokulam Kerala hot on their heels, Fernando Varela’s side cannot afford to slip up against the Malabrians and will go for all three points as they try to extend their lead on the top.
Meanwhile, Gokulam are in their best form since the start of the season after they beat Sudeva Delhi with a solitary goal, extending their winning streak to three games.
If Vincenzo Annese’s side win the match, they could blow the title challenge wide open going into the second phase of the league.
Also, Relegation-threatened NEROCA face Punjab at the Kalyani Municipal Stadium on Monday.
With Sudeva Delhi and Indian Arrows immune from relegation, NEROCA need to accumulate as many points they can to avoid going down. (IANS)
