The Kalinga Super Cup 2025 has now entered the quarter-finals. Eight teams remain in the competition. The knockout stage will begin this Saturday. On that day, fans will witness two exciting clashes. To begin with, Kerala Blasters FC will take on Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the first match.

Kerala Blasters Aim to Keep Momentum

In the Round of 16, Kerala shocked many by defeating East Bengal FC. They won the game 2-0 and looked full of confidence. Since head coach David Catala took charge, the team has improved. He has brought new energy and structure. In fact, he promised a “more structured and dynamic” style of play. Under his leadership, Kerala seems more organised and motivated.

Furthermore, Jesús Jiménez and Noah Sadaoui scored in their last match. Their goals proved the team’s attack is sharp. As a result, Kerala now feels ready to face a strong opponent like Mohun Bagan. They also want to end their recent losing streak against them. With new tactics and attacking flair, they hope to cause an upset.

Mohun Bagan Enter as Strong Favourites

On the other hand, Mohun Bagan Super Giant look like the team to beat. They recently won the ISL double. Additionally, they have beaten Kerala Blasters in their last three meetings. That gives them a mental edge going into the match.

However, Mohun Bagan will use this tournament to test their young players. They want to build depth in the squad and give more players game time. Even so, their bench looks strong and ready for the challenge.

Moreover, their past wins and recent form will boost their confidence. They now aim to extend their dominance and book a place in the semi-finals.
