Dempo to Face Air India in Crucial NFL Match Tomorrow

Strategic Insights -

Dempo, looking to recover from their loss against Mahindra United, will face Air India in the 10th ONGC National Football League at Nehru Stadium at Fatorda tomorrow. The match is crucial for Dermo as they need to collect full points to remain among the top teams. With Roberto de Silva's pin-point passes to striker Ranty Martins, who scored the first hat-trick of the tournament, Dempo's game has been raised. However, the loss of defender Bolaji Majek and winger Sameer Naik due to injury will work in favour of Air India, who will be looking to exploit the situation with their speedy attack.
