#5 East Bengal are favorites to win the Derby at the moment
East Bengal have the most balanced and in-form team among the top teams. They have 19 points on board, and they have three forwards who are scoring goals.
Plus, they have no midweek fixture to think or worry about. Add the fact that they have no injuries to their squad, apart from Bikash Jairu, it is definitely East Bengal’s derby to lose next weekend. Putting things into perspective, Mohun Bagan have Eduardo, Kinshuk Debnath, Kean Lewis injured, and Sony Norde doubtful for the game.
Trevor Morgan, with time, has got his squad playing as he wants them to, and the Ultras will hope that it is them who get the bragging rights after next weekend’s fixture.
