KOLKATA: The second day of Gameweek 10 in the Hero I-League 2021-22 features a feisty clash between confident Rajasthan United FC and the table-toppers Mohammedan Sporting Club. The newly-promoted team are coming to the match high on confidence with a comprehensive victory over TRAU FC while the Black and White Brigade are coming fresh after a break in the previous game week. The game will take place at the Naihati Stadium at 5.05 PM on Wednesday, March 6, 2022.
Rajasthan United FC head coach Francesc Bonet is confident as they are improving after each match. “As we have a few good results, we are confident in our abilities. We drew quite a few games. We will not change our mentality irrespective of any opponents. Hopefully, we can get more positive results in the coming matches,” he said.

On the other hand, Mohammedan Sporting head coach Andrey Chernyshov wants to continue despite the absence of striker Ismar Tandir. “We are playing well in the last few matches.
