The Stakes

Kerala Blasters FC

Kerala Blasters FC made a statement of intent with a dominant win over East Bengal in the Round of 16 clash. They produced some clinical football and showcased their intention to go all the way in the tournament.

The Tuskers will face off against a relatively weakened Mohun Bagan squad, and this is the biggest chance for them to get a big win over the reigning ISL champions.

Kerala Blasters FC will look to threaten the Mohun Bagan players with some blistering, impactful attacking football and take up their chances on the counterattacks.

A major win over Mohun Bagan can significantly improve the self-belief in David Catala’s squad to finally win the club’s inaugural trophy. However, a loss to this youth-heavy Mohun Bagan squad can result in a particularly bitter end to the campaign.

Mohun Bagan

The Mariners proved themselves as the undisputed best in Indian football by winning both the ISL league shield and trophy. As a result, they have given an early holiday to many key players and named a relatively weakened squad for the Kalinga Super Cup, packed with youngsters and reserve players.

However, that won’t stop the Mariners from making a strong chase for lifting the Cup. The possibility of winning a possible treble is what makes this and any Kalinga Super Cup tie so important for Mohun Bagan.

The Mariners will look to play some incisive, attacking football to trouble Kerala Blasters FC and get a big win over them.

A victory over this in-form Kerala Blasters FC side will be a huge confidence builder for the Mariners’ players and improve their self-belief of winning the tournament. However, a heavy loss and potential bad performance from players could impact their involvement in the first team next season.
