Mohammedan SC are set to host Sporting Club Delhi in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season, with both teams desperate for a win. The Kolkata-based club is yet to register their first victory this season, and they will be hoping to turn their fortunes around on home turf.
Match Preview
The upcoming fixture at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan Stadium promises to be a tense encounter. Mohammedan SC have struggled in the opening matches, failing to secure a single win. Their opponents, Sporting Club Delhi, have also had a mixed start, but they will be confident after a recent draw.
Team Form and Key Players
Mohammedan SC's attack has been lackluster, scoring only two goals in their first three games. Midfielder Joseba Beitia will be crucial in creating chances, while striker Marcus Joseph needs to find his scoring form. Defensively, the team has conceded five goals, highlighting the need for improvement.
Sporting Club Delhi, on the other hand, have shown resilience. Their defense, led by Anwar Ali, has been solid, and midfielder Vinit Rai has been instrumental in transitions. Upfront, Lallianzuala Chhangte poses a constant threat with his pace.
Head-to-Head Record
