Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) will play their second home game of the Indian Super League (ISL) against NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) in Kolkata on Monday. The Mariners (MBSG) will aim for their first win after sharing points with Mumbai City FC (MCFC) in the opening clash. NorthEast United FC, meanwhile, earned a victory in their first game, courtesy of a late goal by Alaeddine Ajaraie against Mohammedan SC. They will now face the Mariners, whom they defeated a few weeks ago in the Durand Cup 2024 final, and will be upbeat about securing their third successive win in Kolkata.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant have scored in 15 of the 16 ISL games they have played in 2024. They have found the back of the net in 11 consecutive games and are now just one match short of equalling their ISL streak of 12 consecutive scoring games.
NorthEast United FC have kept three clean sheets in their last four games, including two back-to-back in their previous matches. If they manage to prevent the Mariners from scoring in the upcoming match, it will be the first time they will have kept a clean sheet in three consecutive ISL encounters.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant coach Jose Molina is cautious about his team conceding goals. His side led 2-0 at half-time in the match against Mumbai City FC, but then conceded two goals, surrendering both the lead and the three points. He is determined to turn things around in the upcoming fixtures.
“We have to play better and defend better to win matches. Of course, at this moment, I’m upset. I’m working every day with my players to avoid conceding goals. We have to focus on that, keep working, stay positive, and hopefully, in the next matches, we will play better,” Molina said, as quoted by ISL.
Juan Pedro Benali, head coach of NorthEast United, predicts that Mohun Bagan Super Giant will come out strongly after their draw against the Islanders.
“Mohun Bagan haven’t had the best results in the last few games. We’re talking about a big club, a big team here. They will be eager to get the better of us, and our job is to make it as difficult as possible for them. The players are ready,” Benali said, as quoted by ISL.
