Mohun Bagan Look To Recover After Opening Defeat

Mohun Bagan endured a frustrating start to their ISL campaign, losing 1-0 to NorthEast United FC in Guwahati. The Mariners conceded a late goal in the 90th minute and were unable to find an equaliser, leaving them without points after their opening fixture.

The result has increased the pressure on Dilmperis to improve the team's attacking output. Mohun Bagan struggled to make their chances count against NorthEast United and will need greater sharpness in the final third against SC Delhi.

Dejan Drazic is one of the players to watch for the Kolkata-based side. The forward played through a head injury with protective headgear in the previous match and will be keen to make a bigger impact in attack.

However, Mohun Bagan will be without Australian striker Jamie Maclaren, who remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. His absence could place additional responsibility on Lee Erwin to lead the attack.

SC Delhi Aim To Capitalise On Home Advantage

Sporting Club Delhi also suffered a defeat in their season opener, going down 3-2 to Bengaluru FC despite taking the lead during the match.

The capital-based side showed attacking intent but struggled defensively, allowing Bengaluru to come back and secure all three points. Head coach Tomasz Tchorz will look for a more organised defensive display while retaining the team's ability to threaten opponents in transition.

Juan Pena could be a key figure for SC Delhi after making a promising impression in his ISL debut against Bengaluru. His movement and ability to create problems in the final third could test Mohun Bagan's defence.
