Mohun Bagan Super Giant aims to secure first victory of the season against NorthEast United

In the 2024 ISL season, Mohun Bagan has managed to score in an impressive 15 out of the 16 games they have played so far. They are currently on a scoring streak of 11 consecutive matches, just one game away from matching their previous ISL record of scoring in 12 consecutive games, which was set between March 2021 and January 2022.

The defensively disciplined NorthEast United have kept three clean sheets in the last four games, including two on a trot in the previous couple of matches.

If they keep the Mariners at bay in Monday's match at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan, it will be the first time that they wouldn't concede a goal in three consecutive encounters in the ISL.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant coach Jose Molina is cautious about his team conceding goals. His side led the Mumbai City FC match 2-0 at the break but later gave away the lead and the three points. He is determined to turn things around in the upcoming fixtures.

"We have to play better and defend better to win matches. Of course, at this moment I'm upset. I'm working every day with my players to avoid conceding goals. We have to focus on that, keep working, stay positive, and hopefully, in the next matches, we will play better," he said.

NorthEast United head coach Juan Pedro Benali expects Mohun Bagan Super Giant to come out strong after their draw against the Islanders, but said his side would make it difficult for the Mariners.

"Mohun Bagan haven't had the best of results in the last few games. We are talking about a big club, a big team here. They will be eager to get over us and our job is to make it as much as difficult for them. The players are ready," Benali said.
