Preview

Mohun Bagan Super Giant enters this clash as the defending champions, having lifted the trophy last season after defeating archrivals East Bengal in the final. The Green and Maroons topped Group A with seven points, starting their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Downtown Heroes FC.

They then demonstrated their offensive prowess by thrashing Indian Air Force FT 6-0. However, their final group-stage fixture against East Bengal was called off due to security concerns in Kolkata. Punjab FC, on the other hand, advanced to the quarter-finals as the best second-placed team, having also collected seven points during the group stages.

The club started their Durand Cup journey with an emphatic 3-0 victory over CISF Protectors. In their second game, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Kerala Blasters, but they rebounded strongly with another dominant 3-0 win against Mumbai City FC. Punjab FC finished level on points with East Bengal but edged them out with a superior goal difference (six).

This quarterfinal clash will be a significant test for Punjab FC, who are making only their second appearance in the tournament. Facing a powerhouse like Mohun Bagan, with 17 Durand Cup titles to their name, Punjab FC will need to be at their very best to pull off an upset.

The task will be monumental, but Punjab FC has shown their resilience and ability to compete with top teams during the group stage. For Mohun Bagan, head coach Jose Molina will see this game as an opportunity to fine-tune his squad ahead of the upcoming Indian Super League season.

With East Bengal already out of the competition after a shocking loss to Shillong Lajong, the path seems clearer for Mohun Bagan to retain their title. However, they cannot afford to underestimate Punjab FC, a side that has shown their capability to challenge any team on their day. The stage is set for a thrilling knockout encounter.
