TEAMS PREVIEW

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

Mohun Bagan looked set for their fifth win of the season against Jamshedpur after Liston Colaco’s stunning early strike put them ahead. 

But deep into stoppage time, an unmarked Ritwik Das snatched a late equaliser with a header, denying the Mariners all three points.

It was a fiercely contested, physical game with few clear chances, making the late setback even more frustrating. 

The result extends Bagan’s winless run to three matches—failing to score in two of them—and sees them slip to third, now four points behind leaders Mumbai City.

Mohun Bagan  Probable XI - ​Vishal Kaith (GK); Apuia, Mehtab Singh, Alberto Rodríguez, Aldred,  Subhasish Bose, Anirudh Thapa, Abhishek Singh, Robinho, Liston Colaco, Jamie Maclaren. 

Punjab FC Preview

Punjab FC come into this clash in strong form, unbeaten in their last five ISL matches with three wins and two draws. 

They arrive on the back of consecutive victories, the latest a hard-fought comeback against Mohammedan SC. After trailing at the break, a couple of second-half changes sparked a turnaround, with Nsungui Jr Effiong and Dani Ramirez scoring within minutes to seal the win.

Effiong’s goal was particularly significant after missing the previous match through suspension, as he continues to close in on the league’s top scorers. 

With momentum on their side, Punjab know that a win on Sunday could lift them into the top four, level on points with Mohun Bagan. 

Punjab  FC Probable XI - ​Arshdeep Singh (GK); Khaiminthang Lhungdim, Bijoy Varghese, Suresh Meitei, Muhammed Uvais, Vinit Rai, Samir Zeljković, Dani Ramírez, Ninthoinganba Meetei, Bede Osuji, Effiong Nsungusi.

Winning Prediction

The last time Mohun Bagan played at this venue, they suffered their only home defeat of the season—something they’ll be keen to set right this time. With four wins from their home games and a strong head-to-head record in this fixture, the Mariners will back themselves to respond.

Punjab, however, arrive as a real threat, having won their last two away matches. Even so, Bagan’s overall dominance in this matchup and their solid home record suggest they hold the edge heading into this contest.
