The last time both teams met, Pune FC went down by a solitary goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe past does not matter. Let\u2019s not dwell into that. Every match is different. We got our revenge when we played them in Bangalore,\u201d explains the coach, who believes that the side this time has new players in their midst and will be eager to shred their losing streak.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Sunday\u2019s clash, Pune FC will have to deal with playing without striker Jeje Lalpekhlua and midfielder Baldeep Singh as both are away doing national duty in the SAFF Championship at New Delhi. Likewise, attacking medio Douhou Pierrie sits out owing to a double booking, which leaves Pune FC without their regular central midfielders.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of three key players in the Pune FC line up would mean picking Subash Singh or Arata Izumi as an option upfront, while in the midfield the pick could be from either J Prasad, Paresh Shivalkar D Ganesan with Arata providing an option for both positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll are capable of filling in. we will take a call on this on the eve of the match,\u201d informed the coach, who added \u201call the rest are fit with a some with having niggles that is not much of a bother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both teams have met 5 times before and HAL have somehow turned out to be a \u2018bogey team\u2019 in the past for Pune FC until the Bangalore victory last year ended their own three match loss in all time head to head encounters. <\/p>\n<p>With the Pune FC coach warning against complacency the one statistic that the hosts want to exploit is HAL have only drawn one out of 10 League and Fed Cup games played and have lost nine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to focus and get out and play with determination,\u201d explains the coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Pune:<\/strong> Pune FC will be out to extend their winning run when they take on bottom-placed Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Bangalore in a home I-League Round 8 encounter on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-football-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pune FC keen to extend winning run - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
