The Kolkata Derby in the ISL always brings high intensity. East Bengal is the clear favorite here, sitting 6th in the table compared to Mohammedan’s 14th. Mohammedan has struggled to adapt to the top flight this season, losing their last four matches. East Bengal, under Oscar Bruzon, has found a better rhythm and has a much deeper squad. In a high-stakes match where pride is on the line, East Bengal’s experience in big games will likely be the deciding factor.
