SC East Bengal looking for a win against ATK Mohunbagan on Friday. ATK Mohunbagan has got an edge over East Bengal in their previous derby. 100 years after the first derby, SC East Bengal will look for a comeback. Though the playoff looks wide for them, still they would be eager for a win against Mohunbagan. Robbie Fowler will be trying to play his team in attacking formation to keep pressure in Bagan defense. Danny Fox has given the responsibility to stop Roy Krishna.
Tony Grant who will be in charge of East Bengal due to suspension of Robbie Fowler, said, ” In the first derby we was not prepared. Such a big match in first game is not okay. ATK Mohunbagan played together for years so they got the advantage. But now, both the teams are in match fitness. This time we are ready and hopeful for a win”.
