What to Watch in the Indian Football League Fixtures

Long trips between the northeast, the south and the north will test every squad’s fitness, especially in busy November. Clubs with strong home records, such as those in Shillong, Aizawl and Srinagar, could be tough to beat. Teams that pick up points away from home early on will enter the second leg with a big advantage.
