"During the course of the season, we have shown that we can attack as well as defend. We have shown that we can come from behind as well. We just need to take our chances in front of goal and the draws will convert to wins."
RoundGlass Punjab, on the other hand, have got five points in as many matches, drawing two and losing two games thus far in the season. Their last match was a 0-0 draw against Sudeva Delhi.
