ATK Mohun Bagan vs Chennaiyin FC: Building up

ATK Mohun Bagan have experienced a perfect start to the season derailed with back-to-back losses in recent games. They aim to stop that rot with a win over an undefeated Chennaiyin FC.

The Mariners are treading on dangerous waters at the moment. Another loss and talks of a crisis wouldn’t be far-fetched. For one of the most expensive and star-studded sides in the ISL, this shouldn’t be happening so early in the season.

A lot is riding on this game. Habas’ side could fall too behind in the race for the first position if they drop points again. The Mariners have to treat this one as an ISL final itself. The leaders of the team have to step up and motivate their teammates to maintain a compact shape as well as be decisive in the attack to hurt this sturdy Chennaiyin side.

Chennaiyin FC has bounced back strongly under Bozidar Bandovic this season. They haven’t played the most eye-catching games. However, they have shown impressive character to seal the results from impressive performances of their Indian starlets, with Anirudh Thapa leading by example.

Bandovic’s side have the best defensive record in the ISL, only conceding one goal in three appearances. They’ve become a hard nut to crack under Bandovic.

Knowing ATKMB’s goal-scoring problems, they’ll aim to frustrate the Mariners with solid defending and hit them on counter-attacks. While even a draw could be valuable, a win can help Chennaiyin properly signify their comeback this season and title-winning ambitions.
