Kolkata Derby Showdown: Mohun Bagan vs Mohammedan SC in Durand Cup 2025

Mohun Bagan Super Giant kick off their Durand Cup 2025 campaign against Mohammedan Sporting Club in the Kolkata Derby. While MBSG aim to build on last season's success, Mohammedan SC face a must-win scenario after a loss in their opener, risking early elimination from the tournament.

In an eagerly anticipated clash, Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) will face Mohammedan Sporting Club (MSC) in the Kolkata Derby to begin their Durand Cup 2025 journey. This high-stakes match, slated for Thursday at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, promises to be a major draw for football fans.

Mohammedan SC steps onto the pitch under significant pressure following a 2-1 defeat against Diamond Harbour FC. Having taken an initial lead, their hopes were dashed when they conceded late, making this upcoming match crucial for their tournament survival.

The Mariners, riding high after a runner-up finish in the previous edition and a successful ISL season, enter the derby with confidence. Their last encounter with Mohammedan SC resulted in a win, and with a strong squad led by forward Jamie Maclaren, expectations are to advance far in the competition.
