With another full house expected, a scintillating atmosphere has already begun to build up. Keeping in view the huge rush of the fans, organizers distributed passes for the game on Monday. No one would be allowed inside the stadium without pass.

Mohun Bagan, the is oldest football club of India and one of the oldest in Asia arrived in Srinagar for their crucial clash against hosts Real Kashmir on Saturday and held couple of training sessions at the venue to acclimatize to the conditions.

In I-League, the match is considered as middle table clash with not much separating the two on points table in early stages of the league. With five points from three games, Mohun Bagan stands at fifth place on points table while as Real Kashmir after three games stands at seventh place with four points.

The star-studded Mohun Bagan didn’t get off to a great start to the season, having to contend with two draws in its first two matches. However, in its last match, they were able to beat Indian Arrows 2-0 to register their first win. Contrarily, Real Kashmir got off to a flying start defeating defending champions Minerva Punjab in the away clash. However, at home, with full fan support and favorable home conditions, they have not been able to replicate the same results. In the two matches played at home Real Kashmir has got one draw and suffered 2-0 defeat against Neroca FC in its last match.

Though Real Kashmir suffered its first defeat in almost a year in its last match against Neroca FC but they looked more dominating side creating chances frequently and troubling the opposite defenses. With full crowd backing them, hosts will like to continue the same tempo in their game and not get intimidated by the star line up of Mohun Bagan.
