Army Green, on the other hand, are marching on to the game on the back of a stunning 3-1 win against NorthEast United FC. Lalawmkima was the guy for the Green the other day as he bagged two goals while Somesh Kothari scored the third. Both the teams will try their best to emulate the same energy from their last match.
