Mohun Bagan is set to make a comeback to the field, aiming to put an end to a streak of three consecutive defeats in December. Following a 2-1 loss on the road against Mumbai City, the Mariners suffered back-to-back home setbacks against Goa (4-1) and Kerala Blasters (1-0). The reigning ISL champions had previously enjoyed an impressive thirteen-game unbeaten run in the league before experiencing a recent dip in form.
In their sole prior appearance at the AIFF Super Cup, Juan Ferrando's team faced elimination in the first round after losing two out of three group-stage fixtures. Fernando is expected to make adjustments to the Mohun lineup for the cup contest on Tuesday. Greg Stewart, Asish Rai, Héctor Yuste, and Liston Colaço are all potential candidates for a return to the squad after being excluded following a challenging loss to Mumbai City last month.
Mohun Bagan FC's possible lineup
Prabhsukhan Gill (GK), Nishu Kumar, Lalchungnunga, Hijazi Maher, Mandar Rao Dessai, Saul Crespo, Souvik Chakrabarti, Borja Herrera, Jose Antonio Pardo, Nandhakumar Sekar, Cleiton Silva.

In the previous season's AIFF Super Cup, the Deccan Warriors had a commendable performance. Topping their group with seven points, Sreenidi reached the quarter-finals but were eliminated after a 1-0 loss to Punjab.
