It will be interesting to know if both clubs will be sending their full strength squad for AFC Cup or will give rest to key players for I-League. It will be absolute vital for Mohun Bagan to win this game if they have any ambition to go to next round.
Teams get 20000$ for travel but i dont think there is any money for wimning group matches. Though they get money for winning Round 16 matches and there on. Now with rules change dont know.
@sanvedjadhav ; For every away match, AFC gives a club 20000 US Dollars. Now Mohun Bagan travelled outside 2 times earlier and 3 times in Group Stage, so they are getting 1 lakh dollars as travel subsidy for 5 away matches. BFC should be getting 80 thousand Dollars for travel subsidy as they went out once for AFC Champions League qualifier which they lost and 3 times in Group travel.
Winner of this group will be crowned as Zonal winner (South Asia Zone) and the prize money is 1 lakh dollar.
For smart clubs, AFC tournaments will be a priority than I-League or local leagues. Financially it is so lucrative. Also the pride involved in representing your country is something else.

Of course, MB have to play the derby on 9 April, only five days later, a match which is crucial to their I-League expectations...so it will be interesting to see what sort of permutation and combination they make
