Coach Lobera says, " We are ready for the challenge!" Bring it on in the Furnace! 🔥
<b>MATCH ALERT! </b> Mohun Bagan continued practice for a while after JFC players went into the dugout. A last minute close-passing drill and warm-up shots into the net to close it out and get ready before kickoff. 10 minutes remain!
Coach Sergio Lobera promised a different style of gameplay in today's match compared to the one we witnessed against Mumbai City FC in the Pre-Match Press Conference. Looking at the forward line-up, it is difficult to determine whether Robson will play on the left wing and Liston as CAM or vice versa, or will it remain fluid as we have seen in previous matches? It remains to be seen. As for JFC's strategy, Coach Owen Coyle has deployed 5 defenders which will allow Mark to move up and down the left wing to aid Sanan, and Stephen Eze can play alongside Nikola and Pronay to intercept the ball early in the midfield. In the 2nd Half, the Captain has been seen to be shifting to attacking positions as well.
<b>MATCH ALERT!</b> The players are on the field, warming up for the big match. Kickoff from 5 PM.
<b>TEAM UPDATE:</b> For JFC, 2 changes to the Starting XI. <b>Lazar Cirkovic</b> replaces Rei Tachikawa and he will play as Left Centre Back. Manvir Singh gets replaced by <b>Vincy Barreto</b> who will play on the right wing. 5 defenders in the starting Lineup. We might often get to see Stephen Eze playing in the midfield for JFC. All replaced players are <i> available</i> in the Substitute List. Madih Talal is unavailable due to injury.
<b>TEAM UPDATE:</b> For Mohun Bagan, 3 changes to the Starting XI. Mehtab Singh gets replaced by <b>Manvir Singh</b> who will play on the right wing. Dimitrios Petratos gets replaced by <b>Robson Robinho</b> who will play on the left wing. Jason Cummings gets replaced by <b>Tom Aldred</b> who will place as Right Centre-Back.

As for Tom Aldred, he is adept at scoring from set-pieces as he did against KBFC. All replaced players are <i> available</i> in the Substitute List.

The last time Mohun Bagan faced JFC, it was ISL Super Cup Semi-Final 2nd Leg. The top corner banger from Apuia in dying minutes at VYBK still gives goosebumps everytime you think about it. That win was special and a statement for the visitors for what happened in the 1st Leg. To jog your memory, Mariner away fans faced violence in the stands for celebrating after Mohun Bagan scored a goal. The answer was given in the 2nd Leg, on the field. This time, Mariner Away fans are travelling in big numbers to back the team in the same stadium, to scream louder and cheer for their Mother Club. To answer back to JFC on their own field, another statement is about to be written! <i><b> Brace for impact! </b></i>
