Mohun Bagan Super Giant: Punjab FC will aim to complete a league double over Kerala Blasters FC as the Shers will welcome the Tuskers in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 fixture which will be played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Sunday. Punjab FC started the season with an emphatic 2-1 victory away at Kochi and will look to emulate that performance to climb up into the playoff positions in the table. Punjab currently occupy the eighth position in the table with 18 points while the Blasters are two places below with 14 points.

Speaking ahead of the match, PFC head coach Panagiotis Dilmperis said about the recent results of the team, “We did not play badly in these matches but the results were not that we expected. Tomorrow’s match is a new challenge and we will take the field with new vigour. My players are hungry and confident and I hope that they will put their best foot forward.”

Both teams haven’t had favourable results going into the first match of the New Year. Punjab lost their last three fixtures, the recent one being an unfortunate 1-3 loss to table toppers Mohun Bagan Super Giant on Boxing Day while Kerala Blasters have lost four of their last five matches, the latest being a 0-1 away loss to Jamshedpur FC.
