The much-awaited Kolkata Derby between Mohammedan SC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant is set to take place on February 1 at the Salt Lake Stadium, with the kick-off scheduled for 7:30 pm IST. This clash in the Indian Super League (ISL) promises to be a fiery encounter.
Both teams are carrying different forms and expectations into the match. Mohammedan SC, currently languishing at the bottom of the ISL table, have had a challenging debut season. On the other hand, Mohun Bagan Super Giant have been one of the top teams in the league.

The ISL 2024-25, Mohammedan SC vs Mohun Bagan, will be played at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday (February 1). The match will kick-off at 7:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time). Mohammedan SC vs Mohun Bagan will be telecast live on Sports 18 Network. Fans can also watch the Live stream of Mohammedan SC vs Mohun Bagan on the JioCinema app and website.
Along with a terrible form in their debut season, Mohammedan SC have had to deal with a series of off-field issues and inconsistent performances. Their situation became even more dire after a heavy 0-3 loss to Mumbai City FC in their previous outing. However, the Black Panthers have shown some improvement since the turn of the year.
Now, a victory over their more established Kolkata rivals could provide a much-needed boost to their confidence. They will need to improve their defensive stability and be more clinical in front of goal to have any hope of causing an upset against the league leaders. A win here would be a significant morale booster.
However, another defeat could leave their campaign in deeper turmoil. Mohun Bagan are currently sitting at the summit of the ISL standings with 40 points from 18 matches. After a gritty 1-0 victory over Bengaluru FC in their last match, the Mariners are in good form, and they will be aiming to build on that result.
Under the guidance of coach Jose Molina, Mohun Bagan have maintained a perfect record in Kolkata derbies, winning every encounter so far. However, they must be wary of being wasteful in front of goal, as their finishing has been a point of concern. If they can convert their chances with clinical precision, they could extend their dominance in this rivalry.
In their only previous ISL encounter, Mohun Bagan emerged victorious with a 3-0 scoreline, and they will be looking to repeat that performance. While a win will further solidify their position at the top of the table, a loss could allow FC Goa to close the gap, making this match crucial for their title ambitions.
