Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Preview:

The Super Cup journey for Mohun Bagan Super Giant has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. Despite clinching victories in their initial two encounters, the Mariners displayed moments of vulnerability in their gameplay. Overcoming adversity, Mohun Bagan emerged triumphant in both matches, securing a 2-1 win against Sreenidi Deccan in the first fixture and replicating the scoreline against Hyderabad FC.

Conversely, East Bengal notched up two victories, commencing with a 3-2 win against Hyderabad FC, followed by a 2-1 triumph over Sreenidi Deccan. While Coach Carles Cuadrat lauded his team’s performances, he expressed concern over their defense, which has yet to secure a clean sheet in the opening two matches. The upcoming clash promises to be a gripping spectacle as these football powerhouses battle for supremacy.
