I-League: Mumbai Kenkre FC aim for turnaround against Sreenidi

Things have gone from bad to worse for Kenkre. Following the defeat in Hyderabad, they went on to lose two more games, by an identical 0-3 margin against both RoundGlass Punjab and Mohammedan Sporting. To make it more uncomfortable for the Mumbai outfit, NEROCA, who too are in the relegation zone, picked up two wins on the trot, which took them four points clear of Kenkre, hence further increasing the relegation threat for the Mumbaikars.
