Nepal Police Club - who hasn't won a single knock out tournament this season - is looking hungry for the knock out title whereas defending Champions, Mega Three Star Club is looking for the pride!
Both teams have geared themselves up for the final match of British Gurkha Cup football tournament to be played at Dasrath Stadium on Saturday.
Red Bull A Division League and Red Bull A Division National League Champions, Nepal Police Club hasn't won a single knock out tournament this year but they are afoot to a major title.
On the other hand, Stars are the 14th Budha Subba Gold Cup Champions and also they are afoot to win the British Gurkha Cup 3rd win a row
Team Analysis:
Nepal Police Club: Nepal Police Club is like a "wounded" team. Bharat Khawas hasn't decided yet to join the team while the main striker of the team, Jumanu Rai is badly injured. Rai has Tibial Cruciate Ligament injury and is expected to be away from football atleast for weeks.
The team doesn't have enough players in the bench but the players look committed for the win which they showed on the way to the finals of the competition.
Yogesh Shrestha and newbie Dilip Rai, Pankaj Shahi may take the responsibility of the attacking line for the Cops while the midfield line is likely to remain same. Bhola Silwal, Parbat Pandey, Ramesh Katuwal are the vital players in the midfield. Suman Subedi, Suraj BK and Dipendra Poudel don't look fancy but they are the stubborn defenders to beat for any strikers.
Team Formation:
Cops always like to play in 4-4-2 formation.
Coach Views:
Birat Krishna Shrestha: "We are ready for the final. The final match is unexpected for us but we can't loose this opportunity to win the title for the first time. We have limited players in the team. Some are injured but I have told them to be strong on the field. Mega Three Star Club are a good side. It will be difficult for us to win the title but we are optimistic for the title".
Mega Three Star Club:
Stars look fancy and are capabale of winning the trophy third in a row. Presence of experienced goalie, Kiran Chemzong under the bar is always morale boosting for the team. The defense line comprised of Biraj Maharjan, Ravi Thapa, Bishnu Sunuwar and Sandip Rai is rock solid and will be difficult to penetrate for Cops strikers.
The skipper Vishan Gauchan is playing good game and is an important player in the midfield. Yogesh Gurung, Anil Ojha, Bikram Lama are the promising players who can turn the result anytime. Sadly, Stars will miss Bijaya Dhimal in the final match.
Santosh Sahukhala is looking in form and will partner with Buddha Chemzong in the front line.
Coach Views:Mega Three Star Club Coach, Meg Raj KC is looking confident ahead of the final match. KC has already said that there will be 11 vs 11 players on the field and both teams have eual chance to win the title.
"We are excited to play third final in a row. And we are excited to lift the trophy. But we need to work hard to achieve the feat. Nepal Police Club is a strong side", Coach KC said, "We are not taking them lightly just because Bharat or Jumanu are not there. We are cautious about their strength. It is going to be an exciting final match".
Prize: The winners will get Rs 1m and the runners up team will get Rs 5 Lakhs.
Ticket Price: Rs 200 & Rs 500
