Mohun Bagan vs Bashundhara Kings AFC Cup head-to-head record

These two teams meet for the third time

In a highly anticipated showdown, Mohun Bagan Super Giant are set to host Bashundhara Kings on Matchday 3 of the AFC Cup. This exciting match will take place at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar, a temporary home for Mohun Bagan due to ongoing cricket World Cup events and the vibrant celebration of Durga Puja in Kolkata.

The change of venue was necessary as Kolkata Police could not provide the required security arrangements, but this hasn't dampened the spirits of the fans eagerly awaiting this clash.

Historical signifance

Historically, these two teams crossed paths for the first time in the 2022 edition of the AFC Cup. In the home leg of the encounter, the Kolkata-based Mohun Bagan Super Giants demonstrated their dominance by defeating the Bangladeshi giants, Bashundhara Kings, with a resounding 4-0 victory. Liston Colaco stole the show with a remarkable hat trick, and David Williams added another goal to seal the deal for Mohun Bagan.

The return leg, however, presented a different narrative. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, with David Williams once again coming to the rescue for Mohun Bagan, this time with an equalizing goal in the second half. Jonathan Fernandes had previously put Bashundhara Kings ahead, making it a closely contested affair.

AFC Cup Group D showdown

Juan Ferrando and his Mohun Bagan Super Giants team will be eager to maintain their momentum and secure all three points. A victory in this match would not only strengthen their position at the top of the group but also take them one step closer to qualifying for the knockout stage.
