Two of this season's debutants, Kenkre FC and Sreenidi Deccan FC, will be up against each other in their next match in the I-League. The Mumbai-based side have shown improvements in some aspects of their game even though they fell short of getting a win against Aizawl FC.

Head coach Akhil Kothari addressed the media through a virtual press conference, answering questions ahead of the side's next match. Akhil has rated his next opponents as a top team and feels that they are an organized unit. He said:

"Sreenidi is a fantastic team. They are trying to promote football in the state of Telangana. They have a good footballing structure. They are currently doing well in the I-League. They have made improvements to their game as the league has progressed. Hence, it will be a competitive meeting between the two sides."

Kothari shared his experience from the game against Aizawl FC and said:

"In the game against Aizawl, we did create a lot more chances than our previous game. We should have capitalized on our chances. Nonetheless, we will take away our learnings from the Aizawl game."
