Addressing the media at the pre-match press conference, RoundGlass Punjab FC head coach Staikos Vergetis stated that he plans to carry on with the same style of play as the last game. He said, “The mood in the team is very good. We know that we face a difficult opponent tomorrow and they have a lot of strong points. We have analyzed and discussed them with the players. With the match after this only a few days away, I will look to make some changes to add more energy to the team and ensure the players are not fatigued. The way we play, however, will remain the same.”

Defender Shankar Sampingiraj said, “We have a mature team with experienced players and also a lot of youngsters knocking on the doors of the starting XI. We are expecting a tough match tomorrow. Mohammedan Sporting have a rich history and will be looking to come back after a loss. They have retained their core team from the last season as well, which should make it a challenging game.”
