ATK Mohun Bagan vs Chennaiyin FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s Australian defender Tom Aldred recorded his first Indian Super League (ISL) goal in the Green and Maroon colour as the Mariners eased past Jamshedpur FC with a 3-0 scoreline to climb to the top of the league table.

The Kolkata giants stretched their unbeaten run to five games as they got the better of the Men of Steel with a dominant home performance. Aldred, Liston Colaco, and Jamie Maclaren were on target as Mohun Bagan SG have now won each of their last three games against Jamshedpur FC in the league, their joint longest active winning streak against any opponent.

Aldred opened the scoring for the hosts in the 15th minute, utilising his presence inside the box and delivering a powerful finish from Alberto Rodriguez’s assist. With that, the Australian became the fourth defender to score for the Mariners after Subhasish Bose, Dippendu Biswas, and Rodriguez, which is the highest such tally for any side this term.

After a hat-trick of defeats, Kerala rediscovered their winning touch at home with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Chennaiyin in the ISL encounter at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium here on Sunday. Unfortunately, Chennaiyin couldn’t add to Kerala’s 4th defeat courtesy of a lacklustre performance. 

The return of Noah Sadaoui from injury proved crucial for the hosts' as the Moroccan not only scored their second goal (70) but also played a key role in their win. The other goals came from Jesus Jimenez (56) and KP Rahul (90+2) in the second half. Although Blasters controlled the match, it was the visitors who created the opening opportunity but could not capitalise. 

Head to Head Record - Mohun Bagan has won 2 of the 8 games played between both teams. Chennaiyin has won 3, with 3 draws being played out. 

Current Standings - Mohun Bagan are 2nd on the table with 17 points from 8 games. Chennaiyin are in 7th with 12 points after 9 games. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Mohun Bagan SG recorded their fourth clean sheet of the ongoing ISL season, their second-highest such tally after the first eight games of any of the previous seasons. Shedding light in this context, Aldred remarked, “Of course, I think this is our fourth clean sheet of the season. Our job is to keep clean sheets, and the more we get is better. 

We know we’ve got qualities in our team to win games.” Despite succumbing to a 0-3 defeat against Bengaluru FC at the Kanteerava Stadium in September, the Mariners emerged victorious in four of their next five fixtures, including two Kolkata derby victories over Mohammedan Sporting Club and East Bengal FC. With strong back-to-back performances, Jose Molina’s men find themselves back on track and are now at the top of the table with 17 points from eight matches.

Player to watch out for

The 34-year-old center-back Tom Alred shared his delight at his maiden Mohun Bagan SG goal, saying,“It’s great to get my first goal for the club. It’s obvious that we, defenders, want to contribute to goals. It’s good to get started with the first goal; I thought it was a decent strike. I’m happy with it.” Aldred highlighted their strong on-and off-the-field bonding as the reason behind the team’s dominant performances on the pitch. The defender urged his teammates to carry on the positive momentum and maintain their position at the top of the league table.
