Sikkim vs Mizoram Match Prediction

While both sides haven’t done well in the competition, Mizoram still have some quality players present in their lineup.

Although Sikkim have accumulated a win under their belt, dealing with players like Uday Kaul, Taruwar Kohli and Iqbal Abdulla could be a daunting task for them.

If Mizoram could strike the right chord, they would get closer to notch up their first win in the tournament.

Prediction: Mizoram to win this contest.
