Throughout the Durand Cup, both clubs have been playing with their starting lineups and have been in fairly good condition. 

Mohun Bagan defeated Indian Air Force and Downtwon Heroes in their respective matches to go to this quarterfinal round. However, for security considerations, their third and final group stage match was called off.

Having recently defeated Air Force 6-0, the defending Durand Cup champions appear to be in fine form. Even though Jose Molina has only coached two games, he has already made a major impression. However, on the 23rd, Mohun Bagan will take on a well-oiled Punjab FC team, which will present Molina with his first significant test. 

Punjab FC has performed well in the tournament thus far, establishing themselves as a serious contender for the championship, even though they do not yet have access to their whole overseas roster.
