The seventh edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) is set to witness one of the most anticipated clashes this season in the form of the Kolkata Derby. ISL debutants SC East Bengal are set to make their foray into the league against their famed arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan at the Tilak Maidan in Goa.
The entire tournament is being held inside the bio-bubble ecosystem due to the COVID-19 restrictions and the matches are being held without any fans in attendance.
SC East Bengal come into the ISL under their new head coach Robbie Fowler with aspirations to make an immediate impact. They will have their task cut out having to face their traditional rivals in their opening clash itself.
The Kolkata giants have made some top-notch signings of experienced campaigners such as Anthony Pilkington, Daniel Fox, Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Balwant Singh, CK Vineeth and the 'Mizo Sniper' Jeje Lalpekhlua. They will aim to get off to a good start in the Derby clash and begin their debut ISL campaign with flying colors.
ATK Mohun Bagan FC come into this encounter on the back of a well-earned victory over Kerala Blasters FC in the ISL 2020-21 opener. The Mariners' key striker Roy Krishna was on target to clinch the three points for his team.
With the stellar defensive pairing of Sandesh Jhingan and Tiri at the back, ATK Mohun Bagan are well equipped to counter the East Bengal attack.

SC East Bengal are set to play their first-ever ISL game and head coach Robbie Fowler will aim to begin with a positive outing against rivals ATK Mohun Bagan.
