Shillong, May 1: The road to the title narrows, the margins grow thinner, and every match now carries the weight of a season.
For Shillong Lajong FC, Saturday's clash against Chanmari FC could well define their championship ambitions.
Lajong will host Chanmari FC in a crucial Indian Football League Championship stage fixture at the SSA Stadium on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 6:30 PM. Sitting second on the table with 18 points from 10 matches, the Reds are firmly in the hunt but know that any slip-up at this stage could prove costly.They head into the encounter on the back of a frustrating goalless draw against Dempo SC, a match where chances were created in plenty but finishing let them down. Head coach Birendra Thapa, however, remains confident that his side can rediscover their cutting edge, stressing the need for composure in front of goal.
With just four matches remaining, Lajong are chasing league leaders Diamond Harbour.
