ATK Mohun Bagan will look to maintain the stress on the highest spot up once they conflict with NorthEast United of their subsequent Indian Super League (ISL) match on the Fatorda Stadium on Sunday.
Just as soon as level separated table-toppers Bagan and Mumbai City FC earlier than the beginning of the latter’s match towards Kerala Blasters on Saturday. While Bagan have 17 factors, Mumbai have 16. But this will likely change by the top of the Mumbai-Kerala encounter.
Bagan ended the 12 months on the high of the factors desk whereas Mumbai City have performed one match lesser than Bagan.
Antonio Lopez Habas’s Bagan have been robust in defence, having conceded simply three targets all season however he will likely be hoping for a extra environment friendly up entrance.
Bagan’s strikers have been going via a hit-and-miss part, with solely three targets coming of their final 4 video games. This was on evident of their earlier recreation towards Chennaiyin FC that led to a goalless draw.
However, Habas will not be frightened. “I would be worried if we did not have the chances to score. In football, you can do in one moment, what was not possible for you in the three matches before. All situations are different situations during the 90 minutes,” he mentioned.
Roy Krishna has been the standout for Mohun Bagan this season, having bailed them out of stick conditions quite a few occasions with well timed targets. He has scored the winner in 4 of the 5 wins they’ve recorded up to now this season. However, he has not been in the very best of type of late and has not scored from open play for almost a month.
However, Habas maintained that goalscoring was a collective duty, not a single participant’s activity. “I have to analyse the performance of the whole team and not just Roy Krishna. And the team’s performance is 100 percent,” he mentioned.
NorthEast United, in the meantime, have issues of their very own. After their early season type propelled them up the desk, they’ve since misplaced floor and are winless of their final 4 video games. Their coach Gerard Nus is conscious that Bagan will current them with a tricky take a look at.
