They notably defeated Bashundhara Kings on the opening matchday, but are currently positioned at the bottom of the table with just one victory.
In their previous encounter, Maziya put up a resilient fight against Mohun Bagan, but Jason Cummings’ stoppage-time goal clinched all three points for the Kolkata Giants.
