Gokulam start strong favourites
Gokulam clinched last season's IWL title in quite a convincing style, winning all 11 of their games. Now, they find themselves within two games of a successful title defence.
Eastern Sporting Union last reached the IWL final five years ago but will have to produce one of their most stunning performances ever against heavyweights Gokulam Kerala if they are to repeat that feat.
