\"I-League:Pune<\/strong>: It\u2019s probably going to be the most important match both Air India and Mohun Bagan <\/a>have played so far this season.<\/p>\n

Having lost both the matches, the teams will now hope to return to the winning ways when the two meet in a round III match of the I-League<\/a>, at the Balewadi Stadium, here, on Sunday (October 28).<\/p>\n

Both the teams know that if they have to stay in the fight for the title, this is the time deliver the goods.<\/p>\n

Air India, who played their opening match without the newly-appointed coach Godfrey Pereira, want to keep their approach positive for the match against the Kolkata giants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been motivating the players. And also we are trying to keep our approach positive,\u201d said Pereira. Air India lost to Pailan Arrows 0-2 and then Prayag United thumped the Airmen 5-0.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur strategy in the previous matches did not work. So, for tomorrow\u2019s match, we are taking a different approach. Earlier, we were mainly playing attacking football. But now we will have be careful about our defence as well. We should not let our opponent take early lead. That\u2019s important. But then, we can\u2019t be overtly defensive either,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Air India and Mohun Bagan had last met in the Federation Cup in last September, when the 10-men Airmen won 1-0.<\/p>\n

This win, according to the Air India coach, is a major motivation for Sunday\u2019s game. Pereira said, \u201cIt was a great win for us. We were just 10 men on the field that day. It was a great achievement for us and definitely a plus point for us tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMohun Bagan are a very good team. They have changed a lot. They have got a new coach now, who is brilliant,\u201d he further added.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever we are trying to be focused. There will be no changes in the team for tomorrow\u2019s match and we have no injure issues,\u201d the coach said.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Bagan have also lost their first two matches. In their first match against Shillong Lajong, Bagan failed to score even a single goal before losing 0-2. In the second match, Prayag United beat Bagan 2-1.<\/p>\n

Balewadi being Air India\u2019s second home ground, the airmen would like to make most of the home advantage.<\/p>\n

Tolgay Ozbey, who had a much talked-about transfer from East Bengal to Mohan Bagan earlier this season, is yet to click, and his striker partner Odafa Okolie is almost on the same page.<\/p>\n

If Bagan has to win on Sunday, the duo will have to rise up to the occasion.<\/p>\n

The kick-off is at 2:30 pm.<\/p>\n
