The Kolkata Derby is one of the most popular clashes in world football featuring arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan and Emami East Bengal and going into it, there are no favourites for this one.
ATKMB lost their first Durand Cup clash to Rajasthan United FC and drew their second with Mumbai City, while EEB played out goalless draws against the Indian Navy and Rajasthan respectively. While ATKMB have scored three and created millions, they have also conceded four. EEB on the other hand have maintained a clean sheet in both their games, including against Rajasthan who put three past ATKMB.
The concern of EEB coach Stephen Constantine however will be that despite creating quite a few gilt-edged opportunities, his forwards have failed to score, with V.P. Suhair being the biggest culprit.
There is no doubting the quality ATKMB possess, particularly in attack with the likes of Liston Colaco, their best player by far, Ashique Kuruniyan and Hugo Boumos creating plenty of chances in every game. Gaffer Juan Ferrando’s main concern however will be the fact that they have not been able to get the results going their way.
With EEB improving with every game, there will be no punches held back in front of their adoring supporters, which is what everyone expects.
