TEAMS PREVIEW

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

Slowly pressure is mounting on Jose Molina as he is unable to do his job properly as the Mariners have started this season poorly despite spending so much on the team. Fans are not at all happy with the team, especially after the 3-0 trashing that they got against Bengaluru FC. 

This will be the first Kolkata Derby of the season and surely fans will come in huge numbers from both the teams. The Mariners didn't travel to Iran due to ongoing conflict and now they have had plenty of time to prepare for the match so if they don’t get a good result surely some strict action will be taken by the management. 

Injury - Alberto Rodriguez is still doubtful for the match and the rest of the squad is fit for this upcoming game. 

Key Player to Watch (Greg Stewart)

 The Scotsman is a well-known player in the league and is one of the best playmakers who is capable of scoring a lot of goals. But still, now he has not been able to make a big impact on the team. Overall, the performance of the Mariners has been poor but Stewart is a player who can lead the attack and make a difference. He is a leader on the pitch and his ability to dribble past players is something which makes him special. There are a lot of expectations from him and he will have to deliver performances in the upcoming matches. 

Stats That Matter 

Mohun Bagan are ranked 7th in ball possession with 51%. They average 13.3 shots and 7.7 corners per game. Subashish Bose, Jason Cummings and D. Biswas have scored one goal each this season. On the defensive side, the team makes an average of 19.3 clearances and 4.7 saves per game, the best in the season. They have managed 15 tackles and 10.7 interceptions but conceded 2.3 goals per game.

Mohun Bagan Starting Lineup (4-4-2): V Kaith(GK); A Rai, T Aldred, D Biswas, S Bose (Defenders); M Singh, Apuia, A Suryavanshi, G Stewart (Midfielders); J Cummings, D Petratros (Forwards)

Mohammedan SC Preview

Not many experts expected the Black Panthers to come out on top against Chennaiyin FC. They won the match by 0-1 surprised everyone and made a statement to not take them lightly this season. Even though the Marina Machans did create a lot of chances but failed to convert them the credit also goes to Mohammedan’s defence as well. 

This be the first time both Kolkata giants face off in the ISL and this will be an exciting clash for sure. The Black Panthers don’t have any injury issues going into this fixture and will have all players available for the match. 

Key Player to Watch (Alexis Gomez)

He has already impressed everyone with his performance in previous matches. Gomez has got technique and skills by which he can create a difference on the pitch. He can beat defenders with his dribbling ability and is capable of scoring as well as providing assists to his teammates. His partnership with Franca can be lethal in the upcoming matches. Alexis has a brilliant vision of finding pockets of space to exploit and he can also take shots from a distance. He is not shy or afraid of any player and is fearless in his gameplay.
