Mohun Bagan is back in action this weekend with another mouth-watering Kalinga Super Cup clash, this time against Hyderabad FC. Mohun Bagan will go into the match on the back of a narrow win over Sreenidi Deccan. The last time the green and maroon faced the Nizams at Bhubaneswar was 2nd December when Mohun Bagan breezed past Hyderabad with two goals. After that scenes in the Bagan camp changed a lot. Mohun Bagan tasted back-to-back defeats to slip down to 5th position in the ISL. However, the Mariners managed to start the new year on a winning note beating Sreenidi Deccan and will seek another win against Hyderabad too.

On the other hand, Hyderabad FC could not register a single victory by their name this season. Due to their ongoing financial turmoil most of their foreign players left the club already. However, coach Thangboi Singto's all-Indian squad gave a strong fight to East Bengal and is expected to do so against Mohun Bagan.
