Aizawl and Inter Kashi will face off at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium this Thursday, both having secured spots in the upcoming I-League season. Aizawl currently holds the fourth position with 18 points, while Inter Kashi is in seventh place with 14 points.
In their recent I-League match at home, Aizawl played to a 1-1 draw against Gokulam Kerala, extending their unbeaten streak to six games (W3 D3 L0). On the other hand, Inter Kashi secured a 2-0 victory over Delhi FC in their last league match at home.
This matchup marks the first meeting between the two clubs in the I-League. Lalrinzuala Lalbiaknia has been a key player for Aizawl this season, leading the team with nine goals, which ties for the most in the league for the 2023/2024 season. Jordan Lamela has been the primary attacking threat for Inter Kashi, scoring four goals, including one match-opening goal.
Aizawl, as the host, has a record of one win, one draw, and one loss in three I-League home contests this season. On the other hand, Inter Kashi has accumulated 11 points from eight away matches this season (W3 D2 L3).
In their respective last six league matches, Aizawl has won three and drawn three, while Inter Kashi has won two, drawn one, and lost three.
It’s a close call, but based on current form and home advantage, Aizawl FC has more chances to win this game. Their attacking momentum and energetic fans could be the difference. However, Inter Kashi’s recent win against Delhi FC shows they have the potential to upset the applecart.

The Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is located in the eastern suburb of Uppal, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Owned and operated by the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), the stadium serves as the home ground for both the Hyderabad Cricket Association and the Indian Premier League team Sunrisers Hyderabad. Established in 2003, the stadium became match-ready in 2006, driven by the necessity for a large ground and an exclusive cricket facility in Uppal. It is also commonly referred to as Uppal Stadium.
With a maximum capacity of 55,000, the stadium sprawls across 16 acres (65,000 m²) of land. Its history is marked by the inaugural match played in 2005 between India and South Africa. As of October 18, 2023, the stadium has hosted 5 Tests, 10 ODIs, and 3 T20Is. Notably, it hosted the opener and final of the 2017 Indian Premier League and the final of the 2019 Indian Premier League. Additionally, the stadium marked its entry into ICC events by hosting matches during the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
The I-League is the men’s second-tier of the Indian football league system. It was founded in 2007 as the successor to the National Football League, with the first season starting in November 2007. The competition was launched as India’s first-ever top-tier professional football league with the aim to increase the player pool for the India national team.
Currently, the I-League is contested by 13 clubs. The winners get promoted to the Indian Super League. The I-League operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the I-League 2. Since the inception of the I-League, a total of seven clubs have been crowned champions. Dempo has won the most titles in league history, being crowned champions three times.
The I-League was formed after the 2006–07 NFL season. The league’s first season consisted of eight teams from the previous NFL campaign and two teams from the 2nd Division to form a 10-team league. The league announced a change in their foreign-player restrictions with the new rule being that all the clubs could sign four foreigners – three non-Asian and one which must be Asian.
