A win will take the Red Pythons to 29 points, overtaking Churchill Brothers and Gokulam Kerala in the process.On the other hand, if Aizawl win, they will level on points with TRAU and Churchill Brothers.
That would keep the Reds in a good position for the last four matches as well.TRAUs performance has been up and down but the victory against Churchill in the last match must have done a world of good to the squads confidence.
