Mohun Bagan Eye Crucial Three Points Against Odisha FC in ISL Clash

Mohun Bagan Super Giant will look to continue their strong form when they face Odisha FC in an Indian Super League match at Salt Lake Stadium on Friday.

The Kolkata giants head into the game as clear favourites after their dominant performance in the previous match.

Mohun Bagan Riding High After Big Win

Mohun Bagan come into the fixture after a convincing 5-1 victory over Mohammedan Sporting Club. The emphatic win has boosted confidence in the squad as they aim to secure another three points.

However, the team could miss Brazilian forward Robson Robinho, who suffered an injury during the Mohammedan Sporting match. The striker had already scored two goals before being taken off in the first half. His availability for the Odisha clash remains uncertain.

Special Match for Coach Sergio Lobera

The game carries added significance for Mohun Bagan head coach Sergio Lobera. The Spanish tactician previously managed Odisha FC until November last year and will now face his former club from the opposite dugout.

Speaking ahead of the match, Lobera warned against underestimating the opposition despite their squad limitations.

Odisha FC’s Challenge

Odisha FC will enter the match with only one foreign player available, their captain Carlos Delgado. Despite the challenge, Lobera believes the match will not be easy.

Odisha’s participation in the league itself had been uncertain just a few months ago, making their current campaign even more remarkable.

Partial Stadium Ban for Mohun Bagan

Mohun Bagan will also deal with a partial stadium ban imposed by the All India Football Federation following repeated incidents of fan misbehaviour.

To maintain fan support, the club management has announced free entry for supporters for Friday’s match.

With momentum on their side and home advantage at Salt Lake Stadium, Mohun Bagan will be eager to secure another victory and strengthen their position in the league standings.
