MBG vs NOE Match Preview
Mohun Bagan entered the race for the ISL Shield once again by becoming the first team to beat FC Goa in the league this season. The wonder chip of talisman Dimitri Petratos into the empty net after Arshdeep Singh’s clearance fell to his feet gave the Mariners a significant 1-0 win in Fatorda. Antonio Habas, who has changed the course of the side now, guided Mohun Bagan to the third spot on the table with back-to-back victories in the third game of his second stint. After a miserable end to 2023 and a Super Cup exit, the Green and Maroons stand a chance now to reduce the gap with leaders Odisha FC to two points when NorthEast United visits Kolkata. The home side will face the Juggernauts next in the Kalinga Stadium for a direct battle for the top spot, making their Saturday affair all the more important.
NorthEast United claimed a crucial 3-2 victory over playoff rivals East Bengal but then lost the sixth spot after Jamshedpur FC triumphed over Punjab FC on Thursday. Nevertheless, Juan Pedro Benali’s team have two games in hand and a first victory after eight winless games will surely motivate them to move back into the top six. However, the Highlanders had to undertake two tricky trips to Kolkata and Goa next with hope they did not fumble. NorthEast lost in their last trip to Salt Lake facing Mohun Bagan and also the reverse clash between the two this season. They will rely on their new striker Tomi Juric who scored a brace on his debut and Nestor Albiach, signed a contract extension, to see them through.
