Mohun Bagan Super Giant will take on Punjab FC in a crucial Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 encounter on December 26, Thursday, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
The Mariners have been dominant in their previous meetings with Punjab FC, having won both of their previous ISL encounters. However, Punjab FC has demonstrated resilience this season, bouncing back with impressive victories over Mumbai City FC and Odisha FC—teams that had previously beaten them last season. This shows the potential for a tightly contested match.
Coming off an eight-game unbeaten streak, Mohun Bagan’s run was interrupted by a recent loss to FC Goa. However, under the guidance of head coach Jose Molina, the Mariners have never lost back-to-back games in ISL history. And they are yet to experience consecutive away defeats in a single season.
Punjab FC, while showing strong performances at home with four wins from five games, has struggled on the road, losing their last two away fixtures and conceding six goals in those matches—equal to their total conceded in the previous five games combined. Despite their recent road struggles, Punjab FC is in solid form at home, having secured a 2-0 victory against Mohammedan SC in their last match at home.
Currently, Mohun Bagan Super Giant sits atop the points table with 26 points from 12 matches, while Punjab FC occupies seventh place with 18 points from 11 games.
