After a frustrating draw at home in their first game, Sreenidi Deccan tasted their first home victory against Dempo SC last time out. A clinical performance with goals from Lalbiakliana and Hadi Idrissou put them 2-0 up in the first half. Richmond Owusu pulled one back for the visitors, but the high-flying new signing Fabrice Kah scored late on to seal a 3-1 victory. It was the third victory in five games for the Deccan Warriors, who are right in the mix for the top spot. Speaking to the press ahead of the game, Manager Carlos Vaz Pinto was confident of their home form. “The last win was an important win for us, and it has given us more confidence at home. Lajong are also doing well, so we have to be ready to face a motivated opponent,” he added.

For his opponent, Birendra Thapa, it will be a homecoming of sorts. Thapa spent three years as an assistant coach at Sreenidi and will be keen to prove his coaching credentials at a ground where he honed his basics. He said, "The Deccan Arena is a place I know very well, but on Wednesday, the focus is entirely on our performance.

I want my boys to go out there, enjoy the game, and play the brand of football that has put us at the top of the table." The Reds showed great composure to pick up back-to-back victories after a slow start to the league. Their most recent 2-0 victory against Gokluam away from home boosted their confidence. The coach added, “It's very important to keep our momentum going. Coming off two consecutive wins gives the boys a massive boost in morale”.
