Churchill Brothers will face Tiddim Road Athletic Union (TRAU) FC in their I-League 2022-23 fixture at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco on Tuesday, with the kick-off slated for 4.30 pm.
The Red Machines will head into the match on the back of a four-match unbeaten run against Aizawl (1-1), Mohammedan Sporting (2-1), Sudeva Delhi (2-0), RoundGlass Punjab (0-0). With home advantage against a side winless on the road, Churchill will look to bag all three points and potentially enter the top half of the points table ahead of the winter break.
On the other hand, TRAU will be seeking their first away win of the campaign after a run of three losses and a draw so far. They will, however, come into the fixture with high confidence and momentum levels after picking up three straight wins at home “ against RoundGlass Punjab (2-0), city rivals NEROCA (2-1), and Rajasthan United (3-1) “ in their recent matches. A fourth victory on the trot could see them go level on points with the table toppers, albeit with an extra game played.
The two teams have faced off five times in past editions of the I-League, with Churchill failing to win even once and TRAU winning on three occasions. Their sole meeting last season saw the Red Pythons pick up a 2-0 win.
