Today's action will see the two sides in the middle of the table collide as Mohun Bagan has garnered a total of 16 points from ten matches played. Aizawl FC, on the other hand, is just one spot behind and a game less played, with 14 points from their nine matches so far. A win for the home side will see them leapfrog the Kolkata giants in the Hero ISL standings and move on to the fifth spot.
