Indian Football League: Rajasthan United FC aim for hat-trick of wins against Diamond Harbour FC Rajasthan United Football Club (RUFC) is set to continue its strong form in the Indian Football League (IFL) as it prepares to face Diamond Harbour FC in their third home match of the season at the Vidhyadhar Nagar Stadium on Thursday. The hosts, buoyed by two consecutive victories, aim to extend their winning streak against the second-placed team, which has secured nine points from four matches after three successive wins. RUFC, currently sitting in fifth place with seven points, will need to adapt their strategies to counter the formidable West Bengal side. The team’s recent 1-0 triumph over Real Kashmir FC was overshadowed by the injury to key midfielder Pedro Astray Lopaz, who fractured his left ankle after being brought down just outside the box by a defender in the first half. Despite the setback, RUFC managed to secure their second win of the season. Head coach Vikrant Sharma expressed confidence in the squad’s depth and preparation, stating, “The team is well-prepared and focused. Playing at home gives us that extra energy, and the players are motivated to put in a strong performance. We respect our opponents, but our aim is clear—to control the game and secure all three points.” The match will be attended by notable figures, including MLA Gopal Sharma as the chief guest, along with special guests Amit Goyal and Bhupendra Saina. RUFC chairman KK Tak emphasized the importance of the encounter, saying, “We are fully prepared and excited for tomorrow’s third home match. Diamond Harbour FC is a tough opponent, and we respect the challenge they bring. At the same time, we are confident and looking forward to putting in a strong performance.#rajasthan_united_fc #vidhyadhar_nagar_stadium #diamond_harbour_fc #vikrant_sharma #gopal_sharma
