The Mariners will fight for victory in the group
Mohun Bagan is one of the oldest clubs in India, although not the most decorated. After four rounds of the AFC group stage, the club is in second place, trailing the leader on additional indicators. In their last encounter, the Mariners suffered an away defeat to Bashundara Kings, allowing the opponent to claim the top spot. Now, they will have to engage in a virtual battle for group victory, needing to win their matches and hope for a stumble from the competitor. The club has won all four matches in the championship but currently sits in third place, trailing the leader by 4 points, with three games in hand.

Odisha still has the potential for a breakthrough
Odisha is a relatively young club, striving to make a mark. In their AFC group, the team is in third place, trailing the top two by just one point. It's worth noting that only the winner of the quartet advances, and other positions do not matter. The team holds its destiny in its hands, with the last two matches against the leaders. If they manage to win both, first place is guaranteed, although such a scenario seems unlikely. In the domestic championship, Odisha is currently in fifth place.
Head-to-head encounters
In their first meeting in the AFC, Mohun Bagan secured an away victory with a score of 0:4. The game's dynamics were influenced by the host team's expulsion towards the end of the first half, and the guests scored all their goals while having a numerical advantage.
