We will be looking to attack more in tomorrow’s match and try to convert as many chances as possible.”

They have a good squad, filled with hard working and skilled players, who have put in good performances in the last two matches. However, we have prepared well and are ready for the challenge that Aizawl FC brings to the table.”
