Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's coverage of the Calcutta Football League tie between East Bengal and Mohammedan SC.

East Bengal who have been dealt a major set back in the previous game with a 2-1 loss to Peerless, would look to return back to winning ways after no wins in their previous two outings.

Mohammedan come into this game after a 2-1 win over Peerless, and would go for a win today to uplift themselves from the lowly 6th position in the table.

Bastob Roy opined that the game would be a close encounter and it would be a great game for the fans to watch. The East Bengal gaffer also was all praise for Johnny Acosta and insisted on the fact that the Costa Rican needs more time to settle in. The Costa Rican World Cupper has been the talk of the town for the last few days owing up to his not-so impressive performance in the two games he played.

Raghu Nandi, Mohammedan SC Head Coach also full of positive words for Acosta .

The game kicks-off at 4:30 PM in the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata.
