Having lost 0-1 to United SC in the opener last week, the Mohammedan SC will be eager to get their campaign back on track. Though Mohammedan SC looked good against United SC but they failed to capitalize, however the coach Susanta Guha stays confident in his team’s ability to fight back.

But one must understand that a majority of the players are new and it’s not easy to build a team overnight. We need to play a few more games and the team will improve,” said Mohammedan SC U-18 coach Susanta Guha.

Southern Samity, on the other hand, made their U-18 I-League debut against Mohun Bagan in a 0-3 losing cause thus they areexpected  to go out on all cylinders for the win.
