KOLKATA: Back after an international break, Mohun Bagan Super Giant will look to quickly get their winning momentum back and climb to the top of the points table when they host Jamshedpur FC in an ISL match here on Saturday.
A win at home will see the city giants catch up with table toppers Bengaluru FC. The green and maroon brigade have notched four wins, including three in a row, and two draws to accumulate 14 points in seven games, while Bengaluru have 17 points from eight matches.
They should fancy their chances against seventh-placed Jamshedpur FC (12 points) who are not in the best of form recently.
Bagan head coach Jose Molina said that his team is well aware of the opportunity in front and expects the boys to get straight into the groove from the first game after the break.
“At this moment, the team is ready. We have nothing special to work on. The players know what we need to know,” he said. In spite of facing a number of fitness issues, the coach is not worried. “We can have some changes in the line-up because of injuries, but I am confident in the players who can come in and play, and they know what they have to do,” Molina said.
Jamshedpur FC assistant coach Steven Dias is optimistic that his side will turn around.
“Last two matches weren’t as good for us. I think as a coach, every team goes through this phase, so it’s important that we bounce back fast. Hopefully we can get a positive result in tomorrow’s game,” Dias said.
