PIFA Colaba also held a strong DSK Shivajians side 1-1 this season at Cooperage, if they carry the same form into today’s clash then it would be a difficult job for the host, Kenkre FC to get something from this game.

Kenkre FC has been quite dangerous in this campaign when going forward. They have created tons of chances in their previous games, but due to poor finishing they have already suffered number of losses.
