As the AIFF Super Cup 2025 group stage nears its business end, both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are gearing up for crucial fixtures that could define their fate in Group A.
On Tuesday, 28 October 2025, East Bengal will face Chennaiyin FC at 4:30 PM, while Mohun Bagan take on Dempo SC later in the evening at 7:30 PM, both matches being played in Goa.
Currently, Mohun Bagan sit atop the Group A standings with three points, courtesy of their impressive victory over Chennaiyin FC in their opening fixture. East Bengal, meanwhile, occupy the second spot with one point following their frustrating 2-2 draw against Dempo. For both Kolkata giants, today's games carry immense importance as they look to keep their knockout hopes alive.
Mohun Bagan, under Jose
Molina, will aim to build on their strong start when they meet Dempo at the Fatorda Stadium. The Mariners looked solid in their opener, weathering Chennaiyin's pressure before sealing a vital win. Another positive result will likely put them within touching distance of the knockout rounds. However, Molina will demand consistency from his players to ensure the Chennaiyin win wasn't a one-off. The Mariners will need to stay compact at the back and convert their chances clinically against a spirited Dempo side known for its resilience.

East Bengal came back strongly in their match against Chennaiyin as they decimated the South Indian club by 4-0 to temporary claim top spot in Group A. A brace from Bipin Singh and a goal a piece from Kevin Sibille and Hiroshi Ibusuki rounded off a brilliant day for the Red & Gold Brigade.
Chennaiyin on the other hand after losing back-to-back games and conceding six goals are all but out of the competition. All attention now moves to the Mohun Bagan game.
