ATK Mohun Bagan vs Odisha FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Mohun Bagan look to get revenge for the 5-2 victory in the AFC Champions League at the hands of Odisha less than a fortnight ago. Despite this defeat, Mohun Bagan came back to the Indian Super League action with a decent victory. Odisha remain in a very strong position in the league and they are just two points behind Juan Ferrando’s team ahead of this match. This will be the first league meeting between the two clubs since March and it promises to be a tight game. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• Mohun Bagan have been impressive going forward this season

• The team has just picked up a first clean sheet in the last five

Reasons to be fearful

• No single big goal threat for Mohun Bagan

• The team has kept only one clean sheet in the last five games

Mohun Bagan remain four points away from the top spot in the Indian Super League but they continue to have a 100% record in the league. Mohun Bagan are the only team to have won all of the league matches so far this season.

Coach Juan Ferrando has an excellent record against Odisha. The 42-year-old coach has suffered just one defeat against Odisha, but his personal record against Odisha coach Sergio Lobera is not great with only one win in six outings. After the recent 5-2 loss against the Sunderland AFC Champions League, Mohun Bagan will have to first tackle the mental preparation for the game.

Star man – Sahal Abdul Samad

Sahal Abdul Samad has been an influential player for Mohun Bagan so far this season. Even though the likes of Dimitri Petratos may be the top scorer in the squad with two goals and Abdul Samad is yet to find the back of the net, the 26-year-old has been creating all the good stuff for the home team. He already has picked up five assists for the season.

Odisha FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• Psychological advantage rests with Odisha after the recent league win over Mohun Bagan 

• The team has averaged close to 2 goals per game

Reasons to be fearful

• Odisha have been defensively awful with nine goals conceded in the recent six games

• The team has been reliant heavily on the forwards

Odisha continue to make significant progress in the league table and the recent victory over Jamshedpur means that the team are now just a handful of points behind the top three places. Odisha are two points behind Mohun Bagan, who have two games in hand. However, the team will have set their sights on catching Kerala Blasters, who are four points ahead having had two more games.

The form of players like Roy Krishna and Diego Mauricio is a huge boost for the team.

Star man – Roy Krishna

Roy Krishna was on the scoresheet in the recent 5-2 victory over Mohun Bagan. The former Wellington Phoenix forward is the second top scorer in the league for Odisha the season with two goals from seven matches. Yet, his recent form has been spectacular with goals in three consecutive matches.

ATK MOHUN BAGAN vs ODISHA FC
Winning Prediction

Odisha have a big psychological advantage from the recent success over Mohun Bagan. At the same time, they will be wary about the learnings that Mohun Bagan will have taken from the AFC Champions League defeat. Juan Ferrando’s can be very strong at home in the league and they are expected to get a narrow victory.
