ATK Mohun Bagan (ATKMB) will look to secure a spot in the top-four with a win over Odisha FC in their ISL VIII match here on Thursday.
ATK Mohun Bagan are currently third in the standings with 30 points from 16 games. ATK Mohun Bagan dropped points against Kerala Blasters in a heated 2-2 draw, snapping a run of three wins on the spin. But Juan Ferrando’s men are on a 12-game unbeaten streak and have looked at their best in recent matches, even with injuries to key players.
Joni Kauko has been the one who has stepped up whenever team has needed him to deliver and the Finland international scored the last-gasp equaliser in the last game too, underlining his value in the side. Kauko has now been involved in five goals, netting two in the process.
Along with Hugo Boumous, Kauko is the joint leading assist provider for ATK Mohun Bagan this season. ATK Mohun Bagan have also shown a lot of character, coming back from a goal down to winning games and also eking out a point.
They have mustered 11 points from losing positions this season, with only Bengaluru FC having more come-from-behind results.
