Mohun Bagan arrive tonight

Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan will arrive here tonight to play their final Group E match of the AFC Cup against Abahani. The encounter is set to be held on Wednesday at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Having suffered a 0-2 defeat to JSW Bengaluru FC in the Federation Cup final, Mohun Bagan, who finished runners-up in the I-League, will play their last match of the season against Abahani to seek some consolation as only the top team from the group will advance to the knockout stage of Asia's second-tier club tournament.

Mohun Bagan are in third position of the four-team group with six points from five matches while Maziya S&RC of Maldives and JSW Bengaluru occupy the top and the second position with 12 and nine points respectively.  Meanwhile, Abahani lie at the bottom with three points.

However, Bangladesh Premier League champions Abahani are in good form in the domestic circuit as they have registered two successive wins to move into the semifinals of the Federation Cup. The Sky Blues will definitely try to make use of that form on the international stage and end their maiden AFC Cup campaign on a winning note.
