I-League: Real Kashmir aim to continue home domination

It has become clear that neither of these two teams is in the running for the I-League title. It is more about survival now. Both Vicuna and Williams are trying to win as many points as possible in the last few matches to avoid the drop. Vicuna's Mohammedan boys have been either unlucky or wasteful many a time this season to be in the eighth spot with 20 points from 17 matches. Real Kashmir, on the other hand, has not been able to balance their away form with the home form. They have been almost unbeatable at home but struggled to win when they had to play a string of matches away from home. As a result, they are languishing in the ninth spot on the table with 20 points in 16 matches.
