Mumbai, Mar 13 (PTI) Visitors Pune FC will for retribution and three crucial points when they face struggling hosts Air India in the 16th round I-League match at the Cooperage ground here tomorrow. The visitors, who have impressed one and all in their debut season, had lost their home match against the Mumbai rivals 0-1. However, since then the team have gone from strength to strength, remaining unbeaten in their previous seven matches, winning five of them including one against Kolkata giants East Bengal. The team has so far accumulated 23 points from 15 matches. A victory against the hosts will help Pune FC get a place amongst the top five - something that the coach had aimed for before the campaign, but will look to better given the team''s magnificent form. "Before the campaign began we were aiming for a top five finish. A win here and a good performance in the next three-four games and who knows nothing is impossible," Pune FC Coach Derrick Pereira told PTI ahead of the match. Pereira is however, cautious against a team against whom his team has lost (in the I League) and drawn a game (in the Fed Cup) each."They are a good side. We have played two matches against them and lost one in the I League and drew a match which we should have won in the Fed Cup." .
