Mohun Bagan vs Punjab FC: All-time head-to-head record

The Mariners have an edge over the Shers in the head-to-head record

The upcoming match between Mohun Bagan and Punjab FC in the 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) should be a thrilling encounter because of how eager both teams are to get a win at the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata.

Even though these two ISL sides haven’t really been facing off against each other for a long time, the matches between them have tended to be entertaining ones, and there haven’t really been any ‘boring’ fixtures between the two.

Mohun Bagan are heading into their upcoming clash in the ISL with a four-point deficit against league-leaders Mumbai City FC, even though the Kolkata side has a game in hand. Punjab FC, meanwhile, are stuck in the mid-table battle and are only three points behind Mohun Bagan, knowing that a win can propel them up into the top 5.

Mohun Bagan and Punjab FC have both only lost one game apiece in the 2025-26 ISL season so far, which should make this upcoming game between them an intriguing battle.

The Mariners have had a bit of a topsy-turvy period in the Sergio Lobera era so far, winning four of the seven ISL matches under him but failing to win their last three matches. They have played some entertaining football by scoring 15 goals in that period, but have lacked proper finishing touches in the last three games.

Punjab FC might’ve lost their first match of the 2025-26 ISL campaign, but have since recovered strongly under Panagiotis Dilmperis. They have won three of their last five matches in the ISL, amassing 11 points from six matches and scoring nine goals in that period as well.

There have been multiple entertaining Mohun Bagan vs Punjab FC matches in their meetings in the ISL. The two teams have been involved in some high-octane games over the last few years, even though it’s been the Mariners to dominate the majority of the contests as well.

Now, we shall look into their history in the ISL by delving into the Mohun Bagan vs Punjab FC all-time head-to-head record in the ISL.

Mohun Bagan’s dominance over Punjab FC in ISL

Even before they actually faced off in the ISL, the first-time that Mohun Bagan met Punjab FC was in the 2023 Durand Cup group stages. The Mariners were able to seal a 2-0 win over the Shers in that game, which was probably a sign of things to come in the head-to-head meetings between the two sides.

The majority of the Mohun Bagan vs Punjab FC matches, however, have taken place in the ISL over the last three years. It began ever since the Shers were promoted to the top league in Indian football in 2023, following their victory in the 2022-23 I-League campaign.

Since 2023, there have been four matches between the Kolkata giants and Punjab FC in the ISL, and it’s been the Mariners to have dominated the head-to-head record, winning all four matches.

The first-ever Mohun Bagan vs Punjab FC head-to-head battle in the ISL took place at the beginning of the 2023-24 ISL campaign. It was the Mariners who were able to grab a compelling 3-1 win over the Shers in that clash, putting in an efficient display to entertain their faithful at the Salt Lake Stadium.

Mohun Bagan were also able to do a league double over Punjab FC in the 2023-24 ISL campaign by grabbing a 1-0 win in the away fixture as well! The meetings between the two sides were a similar case in the 2024-25 ISL campaign, with the Mariners being able to grab victories in both games, scoring six goals in that period as well!

The last five matches between Mohun Bagan and Punjab FC across all competitions have all been won by Mohun Bagan, which includes a win in the Durand Cup as well. Punjab FC are yet to be able to even take a point out of Mohun Bagan, which they aim to achieve in their upcoming clash.

All-time head-to-head record (in ISL)

Total matches played – 4

Mohun Bagan wins – 4

Punjab FC wins – 0

Draws – 0

The upcoming Mohun Bagan vs Punjab FC clash is definitely poised to be a more tightly fought battle than what fans have witnessed in their meetings over the last few years in the ISL.

That is because of Mohun Bagan being under intense pressure due to their three-match winless run. The Mariners are desperate to get back to winning ways to move closer to the top of the table, and that will cause them to throw the proverbial kitchen sink at their opponents in an effort to get a dominant win.

Punjab FC, however, are high on confidence after their recent matches and has a stronger squad than they have in recent years as well. The Shers are themselves obsessed with getting a victory over Mohun Bagan, and that is why they will almost treat this like a final to put in a spirited performance and grab all three points.
