The team’s struggles have been a mix of inconsistent performances, defensive lapses, and a lack of cutting edge in front of goal. Head coach Carles Cuadrat faces mounting pressure as the team sits near the bottom of the ISL standings. However, a derby win could drastically change the narrative and provide the much-needed morale boost to get their season back on track.

Mohun Bagan, on the other hand, has been in solid form, riding high with victories and a confident squad. Under the guidance of Juan Ferrando, the Mariners are currently one of the league’s top teams and will look to capitalize on their rivals’ poor form. Star players like Dimitri Petratos and Hugo Boumous have been pivotal for Mohun Bagan, adding to East Bengal’s challenges.
The Kolkata Derby is not just a battle for points but one for pride and bragging rights. The history and passion associated with this fixture make it one of the most intense rivalries in Indian football. For East Bengal, the pressure will be immense, but a victory could reignite their season and restore faith among their loyal fans. With a packed Salt Lake Stadium expected, this clash promises drama, excitement, and perhaps redemption for East Bengal.
