Punjab FC aim to keep up winning momentum in Super Cup against Mohammedan SC

Punjab FC will be looking to retain the top spot in Group C

With every match a must-win affair in the tournament, Indian Super League (ISL) clubs Punjab FC and Mohammedan SC will lock horns at the GMC Bambolim Stadium on Sunday.

Bengaluru FC are hot on the train of the Shers while the Kolkata club will be eliminated in the group stage if they lose another game in the AIFF Super Cup 2025-26.

The Stakes

Mohammedan SC

Alison Kharsyntiew’s side put up a decent showing against Bengaluru FC in their first group game. However, goals from Taorem Kelvin Singh and Sunil Chhetri pipped their hopes as they lost 2-0.

There were certainly positives to pick up for Mohammedan SC, and their upcoming game against Punjab FC will be decisive to their qualification hopes. Both games will be ‘must-win’ after their defeat to the Blues.

Punjab FC

Panagiotis Dilmperis’ side won their opening Super Cup game 3-0 against Gokulam Kerala. Muhammad Suhail, Nikhil Prabhu, and Princeton Rebello found the back of the net as the Shers showed their potential.

Three points against Mohammedan will be the task in hand for the Shers before their potential decider against Bengaluru FC.

Team News

There are no major injury concerns in either camp and both Punjab FC and Mohammedan SC should have a full squad for selection in their AIFF Super Cup match.

Player to Watch

Tangva Ragui (Mohammedan SC)

He was playing for Bengaluru SC last season and was signed by Mohammedan SC over the summer. Tangva Ragui started against Bengaluru FC in Mohammedan’s last game and had a decent showing in central midfield, though his team lost.

His teammates will be expecting more from the 21-year-old as he will have to be at his best against Punjab FC.

Nikhil Prabhu (Punjab FC)

Nikhil Prabhu was a man on a mission against Gokulam Kerala, and he dictated the play brilliantly from midfield, also getting on the scoresheet within the first ten minutes.

Having also played for India early this month, Nikhil seems confident on the ball, and he will be looking to be at his brilliant best once again on Sunday.
