Calcutta Football League: Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal Live

The first Kolkata Derby of the 2024-25 season will see Mohun Bagan and East Bengal face-off against each other in a Calcutta Football League (CFL) group game on Saturday (July 13). Even though both teams are playing their reserve players in this tournament, the clash is still going to retain its fiery atmosphere because it is a Kolkata Derby.

It’ll be an ultimate fight for bragging rights and also an attempt to take a step closer to qualifying for the CFL Championship Round. Whoever wins this one can get an advantage over the other heading into the 2024-25 Indian football season. This tournament serves as the ideal platform for budding young guns to prove their qualities.

The Mariners have had a shaky start to their 2024 CFL campaign. They have drawn both of their opening matches and looked vulnerable at the back, conceding three goals in two matches already. Deggie Cardozo’s side desperately need a big win to properly kickoff their CFL season.

The Red and Gold have had a perfect start to their CFL season, winning both their matches in comfortable fashion. They have scored 10 goals in their first two matches and are flying high in terms of momentum and confidence levels. Bino George seems to be getting the best out of his talented young team, but they need to prove their quality against a commendable opposition like Mohun Bagan.

Sayan Banerjee was one of East Bengal’s breakout youngsters of last season and appeared to win over Carles Cuadrat with his exciting ability. He has been placed in the CFL squad to help improve his match sharpness and allow him to gain some momentum before the 2024-25 domestic campaign kicks off.
