Ahead of the season’s first meeting between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, we take a look at the head-to-head record between two iconic clubs – in the ISL as well as overall – and the origins of their rivalry.

Indian football will have its first Kolkata Derby of the season as East Bengal and Mohun Bagan face off in an ISL 2024-25 clash.

East Bengal FC face a tough challenge as they prepare to host Mohun Bagan SG at the Salt Lake Stadium, following a disappointing start to the season with four consecutive losses and the departure of head coach Carles Cuadrat.

The iconic Kolkata Derby returns on October 19 as struggling East Bengal FC face arch-rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giants. While Mohun Bagan seek to extend their derby dominance, East Bengal hope to break their winless streak in this highly anticipated Indian Super League clash.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant and East Bengal have had contrasting runs so far in the Indian Super League. While the ‘Mariners’ occupy the fourth spot with two wins an a draw, the ‘Red and Gold Brigade’ have lost all four matches that they’ve played so far.
