A rejuvenated Mohammedan Sporting Club will be looking to maintain the momentun when they take on leaders Mohun Bagan AC tomorrow in a Kolkata Zone encounter of the AIFF U-16 Youth League.

Mohammedan SC are currently placed third in the table with 12 points and a record-setting 6-0 win against Southern Samity in the last match have boosted their confidence and are looking to keep the winning monentum going.

On the other hand, Mohun Bagan, who almost secured a final round berth with 17 points, have played a goalless draw against Sports Authority of India (East Zone) in their last match.

“Our journey so far has been a roller coaster ride as we have not been consistent with our wins. So we are looking to maintain consistency and when I say that, it means we are going for the win,” Mohammedan Sporting’s U-18 head coach Murari Kar said.

This will be the first time when these two teams lock horns in the current season, however last season Mohammedan SC beat Mohun Bagan once with Surajuddin Munshi scoring the winner and the other one ended in a barren draw.

The Kolkata Zone encounter at Mohun Bagan Ground kicks-off at 14.30 IST on Friday.
