Panchkula, Nov 22 (IANS) RoundGlass Punjab FC (RGPFC) will meet Rajasthan United FC in Round 3 of the Hero I League 2022-23 at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium here on Wednesday.

"It is great that we could start the league with two consecutive wins. But we should not relax and put our entire focus for tomorrow's match against a very strong opponent in Rajasthan United. Our mission for tomorrow is to win our third game and we have to be able to accomplish this mission. The one part of the team that I am very happy with is our defensive shape. We have done well in the last two matches and hope to continue this form while we improve on our attack up front," said RGPFC Head Coach Staikos Vergetis during the pre-match press conference.

RGPFC maintained their clean sheet against a very good Mohammedan SC attack last game with the defence led by Deepak Devrani and Captain Alekasandar Ignjatovic giving no space for the forward line.

Deepak Devrani said during the pre - match press conference, "Rajasthan is a very strong side and they had played more competitive matches than us. We are ready for tomorrow and we will try to continue to build on our last clean sheet and get another three points in our home turf."

RoundGlass Punjab FC won both their matches last season against Rajasthan United. RGPFC is currently second in the table with 6 points below Real Kashmir FC on goal difference while Rajasthan United FC is eighth in the table with 3 points.
