Would like to maintain unbeaten streak at home: Rajasthan United

Things have changed much in the I-League since its resumption in the New Year. Sreenidi Deccan, who had finished 2022 as table-toppers, has dropped to second place after being defeated at home for the first time, and RoundGlass Punjab FC has grabbed the top spot. Rajasthan United had a role in this major change atop the table because they bottled up top-scorer David Castaneda and defeated the Deccan Warriors last Wednesday here at the Ambedkar Stadium. As a result of that win, the Desert Warriors are currently sixth on the table but can go up to third if they beat Churchill Brothers at the same venue here on Tuesday.
