Mohun Bagan Super Giant will aim to grab their first win of the season when they clash against NorthEast United in their second home game of the Indian Super League 2024-25 season in Kolkata on Monday.

The Mariners had shared the spoils with Mumbai City FC in their opening match. NorthEast United, meanwhile, earned a win in their first game, courtesy a late goal by Alaeddine Ajaraie against debutants Mohammedan Sporting.

They will now take on the Mariners whom they defeated a few weeks back in the Durand Cup 2024 final and will be upbeat to land their third successive win in Kolkata.

Mohun Bagan have scored in 15 out of the 16 ISL games they have played in 2024. They have found the back of the net in 11 straight games and are now one short of their ISL streak of 12 matches -- between March 2021 and January 2022.

However, they bowled out Bangladesh twice in two days and a destructive batting display guaranteed a big win for the Rohit-led side. Ashwin revealed after the match that Rohit asked the team to play fearless cricket and that was reflected in the team's batting in the first innings as they went on to break five world records.
