Margao, Mar 13 (PTI) Dempo is looking to collect full points against Salgaocar to maintain their top position when they meet tomorrow in the 16th round of the I-League at Nehru stadium, Margao. Dempo''s shock defeat in their last match against Viva Kerala has helped Title contenders Mahindra United to close the gap by one point. Both the teams have a good record at home and will be looking to collect full points. Under new coach Karim Bencherifa, Salgaocar have proved to be a difficult team to play against but they only managed to draw their last two games. Both those results came against teams from the bottom half so this game against leaders Dempo will be Salgaocars biggest test since the appointment of the Moroccan. Dempos title challenge suffered a huge blow in the last round as they went down 0-1 against Viva in Kerala. Armando Colacos side failed to score outside Goa for the first time this term and their lead at the top was reduced to one point. All three of Salgaocars wins have come in Goa and they have picked four points from three local derbies. Dempo have got the same number of points from Goan derby matches so they will be determined to improve that record by beating Salgaocar. .
