The two giants of Indian football East Bengal and Mohun Bagan will lock horns in a crucial Durand Cup 2023 fixture on Saturday (August 12) at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.
For the record, Mohun Bagan Super Giant have a hundred percent record from the two games they have played so far in Group A and are sitting pretty on the top and with an embarrassment of footballing riches to boot.

East Bengal on the other hand, in their only game so far, drew 2-2 against a Bangladesh Army side who did not score in any of their other two games. They have a new coach and new set of players who assembled just before the start of the tournament and have not won a derby for over four years now.
The two teams had a pre-match presser and here is what Carles Cuadrat, the Emami East Bengal gaffer had to say on the importance of the derby among other things, "We understand the value of this Derby. It will be a fantastic game with a fantastic atmosphere. We will give our best. The management is good. So we are expecting to put up a fight tomorrow and try to win."
Mohun Bagan head coach Juan Ferrando also acknowledged the importance of the game saying among other things, "Derby is always a different match. We have to give our best tomorrow and get three points to go to the next round. In my opinion we have a quality side so we have to make the best decision. We hope that we will do good tomorrow."
