Inter Kashi vs NEROCA: Preview, predicted lineups and more for the I-League 2023-24 clash

Inter Kashi will take on NEROCA FC in the I-League at the Kalyani Stadium in West Bengal on Tuesday.

The home team, Inter Kashi, despite not playing in their own stadium, will feel that they are much stronger than their opponents and can put up a tough fight.

For NEROCA, this game will be crucial since they are in the relegation zone at the moment and will hope to fight for higher honors.

If the Manipuri outfit can win this game, it might spark a small bit of creativity in their side and push them to move out of the drop zone and into the safety net of mid-table.

However, that seems highly unlikely given that NEROCA have a mere seven points to their name as opposed to Inter Kashi's 23. The latter are sixth in the league table at the moment.
