The Churchill Brothers & Mohun Bagan managers F. Bernardo Tavares and J. Vicuña Ochandorena are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the I-League league table.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the I-League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Real Kashmir, was also a home game here at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as Mohun Bagan have to travel 2100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
