Welcome to today's Hero I-League action as Mohun Bagan travels to the picturesque city of Aizawl in Mizoram to take on the defending champions on a Thursday afternoon.

Midweek action in the Hero I-League sees defending champions Aizawl FC host Mohun Bagan at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Aizawl, Mizoram.

The two sides come into this match after contrasting results in their respective derbies as Mohun Bagan defeated East Bengal 2-0 in the Kolkata Derby whereas Aizawl FC lost 2-1 against NEROCA FC at home in the Northeast Indian Derby.

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.

Shankarlal Chakraborty will hope his side carry the momentum from the derby win into this game and come out with three points.
