MARGAO: Defending champions Dempo have been in sublime form this season and will look to continue their winning ways in their 11th round match of I-League football against Pune Football Club at Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, on Saturday, at 5 p.m.

Chief coach Armando Colaco has discovered a great way of marshalling the Azzure brigade, which consists of some of the best footballers of the country. Dempo currently occupy the top spot in the league table with 25 points from 10 matches while Pune are at the fourth spot with 17 points from 10 matches.

Hoping to garner full points from the encounter, Dempo and Pune are likely to adopt an attacking approach and go all-out for a win.

Both teams’ players do not face any injuries or suspensions and the teams are in position to field the best possible line-up.

Colaco is aware of Pune’s capabilities and thus put his players through a strenuous training session at Sangolda ground, Friday morning. He made them try different attacking strategies, worked on their shooting from dead ball situations and various set pieces.
