I-League: Air India take on Mohun Bagan

Pune, March 25 (IANS) Air India host Mohun Bagan in the 21st round of the I-League at the Balewadi Sports Complex Monday. Bagan who have 37 points from 20 matches, nine points behind league leaders Dempo, would try to consolidate their position in the table.

Air India who are clear of the relegation zone with 27 points from 20 outings have nothing to lose unlike their opponents.

Mohun Bagan head coach Prasanta Kumar Banerjee is in no mood to take any risk. 'Air India is a capable side, they can always play a spoiler on a given day. We need to stay alert,' he said.

Air India on the other hand have no option but to go all out against the Bagan. However, history is not on their side, in the five league encounters between the two side, Air India drew once and lost on four occasions -- the latest being 1-3 defeat at Salt Lake Stadium Dec 28th.
