Mohun Bagan SG to meet Jamshedpur FC in Durand Cup quarterfinal at Salt Lake Stadium on August 17, 2026
Mohun Bagan SG will face Jamshedpur FC in a 2026 Durand Cup quarterfinal at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Monday (17 August 2026). The preview focuses on team news, likely lineups and key players ahead of the knockout tie.
Mohun Bagan arrive at the tie having kept a 100% winning record under Panagiotis Dilmperis and the Greek coach is treating the Durand Cup as a priority while seeking his first piece of silverware in Indian football. Dilmperis has an almost fully available squad, including all his foreign players, and intends to press for attacking football through incisive forward moves and intelligent transitions. A strong result would further strengthen Mohun Bagan’s momentum in the competition; a loss would end their run after an unbeaten group stage.
Jamshedpur enter the quarterfinals amid organizational change after the club was overtaken by Churchill Brothers, with players due to represent Churchill Brothers from September (2026) onward. The Men of Steel reached the last eight after scoring 12 goals in three group games while suffering one defeat. Coach Kaizad plans to demand energetic, hard-working performances that close down space, and Coyle will urge unpredictability in attack; the side regard a win as a major confidence boost while defeat would conclude this chapter for the club.
Both teams are reported to have all players available for selection, with Mohun Bagan listed as having a fully fit squad. Mohun Bagan’s expected XI: Vishal Kaith (GK), Abhishek Singh, Rahul Bheke, Alberto Rodriguez, Subhasish Bose, Lalengmawia Ralte, Deepak Tangri, Manvir Singh, Miguel Figueira, Dejan Drazic, Jamie Maclaren. Jamshedpur’s expected XI: Albino Gomes (GK), Nikhil Barla, Pratik Chaudhari, Sarthak Golui, Provat Lakra, Raynier Fernandes, Pronay Halder, Shagolsem Rashithoi, Aman CK, Mohammed Sanan, Lawmsangzuala.
The preview’s match poll gives Mohun Bagan wins – 6 Jamshedpur FC wins – 5. Jamie Maclaren is poised for his first start under Panagiotis Dilmperis after making a notable contribution in Mohun Bagan’s 6-0 group-stage win over CISF Protectors; he was Mohun Bagan’s top scorer in the 2025-26 season and scored 10 goals in the Indian Super League in the previous campaign. Mohammed Sanan has been one of Jamshedpur’s standout all-Indian performers at the Durand Cup, scoring one goal in the group stages and providing pace and trickery the side will look to exploit on transitions.
The quarterfinal will kick off at 4 PM IST and will be shown live on Sony Ten 2 with streaming available on SonyLIV.
