ISL 2024-25: East Bengal FC, Mohammedan SC aim to revive sagging campaigns in derby clash

Both these teams, which have fought many battles in the Calcutta league and the IFA Shield for decades, have endured difficult starts to the 2024-25 season, with Mohammedan winning and drawing once in six games, and East Bengal losing all six matches so far.
