ATK Mohun Bagan will be aiming for their fourth straight win as well as a place in the top two when they face Odisha FC at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Thursday.
Full points from this encounter will help Bagan, who are currently third in the ISL standings, move up to No.2, just after toppers Hyderabad FC.
Unbeaten in three games on the trot, Bagan have also shown their defensive astuteness by keeping a clean sheet in all these matches. Head coach Juan Ferrando, however, stays cautious and warns his men against taking Odisha FC lightly.
Odisha FC, too, will gain if they beat Bagan as they will then move up to No.3.
“The match against Odisha FC will not be an easy one. They have gotten off to a good start this season with many performances worth mentioning. We too have our plans in place and hope to execute them,” Ferrando said.
