Margao, May 29 (PTI) Dempo, who need to win their last two matches with a huge margin to keep alive their hopes to retain the I-League title, will meet Air India at Nehru Stadium here tomorrow.
Dempo''s loss to Pune FC in their last match has strengthened Salgaocar''s chance to win the title as they need only a draw against JCT to finish ahead of Churchill Brothers who are currently at second place.
With East Bengal out of the title race after their draw yesterday against HAL, Churchill Brothers, the 2008-2009 champions, currently on 50 points can end with the same number of points as Karim Bencherifa''s side if they win their last game against Pune FC and Salgaocar lose to JCT tomorrow.
Still Churchill won''t win the title as they have an inferior head-to-head against Salgaocar.
Dempo, who need to win both their last matches with a huge margin, have inferior goal difference of 12 against Salgaocar and have no option but to go all out against Air India who also need a win to stay away from relegation.
The AFC Cup match and three I-League matches they played in five days has really taken a toll on Dempo players who are finding difficult to recover from injuries.
With defenders Mahesh Gawli not fully fit and Roullah Sameinia who is reported sick, Dempo''s coach Armando Colaco will have no option but to revert to Kalu Ogba in the central defender position to strengthen the defence.
Striker Ranty Martins, who was seen limping during the practice session, is also a doubtful starter. .
