Rajasthan United seek first points against Gokulam Kerala in Jaipur
A double-header featuring Real Kashmir FC and Sreenidi Deccan FC will also take place on Saturday.
Rajasthan United FC will attempt to secure their first points of the Indian Football League (IFL) 2026–27 season against Gokulam Kerala FC at Vidyadhar Nagar Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday. According to The Tribune, the match is scheduled to kick off at 16:00 IST. Later that evening, Real Kashmir FC will host Sreenidi Deccan FC at the TRC Stadium in Srinagar at 18:30 IST.
Rajasthan United began their campaign with a 1-0 home loss to Sreenidi Deccan FC on Sunday. Despite a goalless first half, the hosts saw P. Christopher Kamei hit the crossbar, while Foday Trawally and Ricky Vanlalhriatsanga narrowly missed scoring.
Nishu Kumar scored in the 66th minute to secure the win for Sreenidi.
Head coach Giuseppe Cristaldi said the team must be more clinical, noting that players are remembered for scoring goals rather than possession stats. He stated he will not change the team's style but requires more precision in attack and defensive vigilance.
Gokulam Kerala enters the fixture following a 3-2 victory over Samaleswari SC in Kozhikode. Crislan da Silva and Makan Chothe scored for the two-time champions. Head coach Carlos Eduardo Parreira said his squad is 100 per cent fit and ready for the encounter.
In the second match, Real Kashmir FC seeks its first win after losing 3-1 to Nagaland United SC on October 30. Head coach Ishfaq Ahmed emphasised that his side must maintain defensive discipline against an experienced Sreenidi Deccan FC side.
