<p>Both the teams have won their first two encounters but Dempo, who beat Mumbai FC after getting the better of Salgaocar in the opening encounter, have a better goal difference as against Bagan, which has placed them at the top of the table.<br /><br />The match is expected to be a cracker as both teams will try to get the better of each other and keep the momentum going.<br /><br />All the four Goans clubs that are organising their respective matches, have so far kept the spectators on their feet with off-the-field entertaintment before the start of the match and during interval.<br /><br />Dempo's defence has put up a solid performance in both the matches and the midfield also looked creative, which saw them creating a lot of chances, especially against Mumbai FC.<br /><br />Their only concern is that their strikers have not been able to utilise the chances.<br /><br />Coach Armando Colaco who is going to retain the team, is hoping to see Koko Sakibo and Joaquim Abranches come up with decent performances.<br /><br />Ranty Martins who is in sublime form scored in both the matches to take his tally to three goals, and Colaco is banking on him to fire on all cylinders again.<br /><br />"I am happy the way the team is playing. I was a little apprehensive at the beginning of the I-League as the team was not doing well but the win against Salgaocar in the has put the team back on the track and tomorrow, I am hoping they play the same way they have done in the last two matches and utilise the half chances that come their way," Colaco said. <br /><br />Bagan arrived here yesterday evening without their two key players -- Odafe Okolie and Jose Baretto -- who are nursing injuries.<br /><br />"It's a huge setback for the team as we play against a formidable side but we have to take things in our strides and look forward. We have good replacement, Ashim Biswas will most likely partner Sunil Chettri upfront in the absence of Odafe. I have watched Dempo's both matches and they have a good defence, midfield and a good striker. They also have the home advantage.<br /><br />"We are prepared for the high-voltage contest and hoping that our team play to its potential and win tomorrow," stated Prasant Banerjee, Bagan's coach.</p>
