The Indian Super League is back in action, and in this fixture Sporting Delhi host ATK Mohun Bagan early in the season, with both sides still finding their feet. In their last match, Sporting Delhi lost 3-2 to Bengaluru in the league on 10 Oct, while ATK Mohun Bagan went away and lost 1-0 to NorthEast United on 12 Oct. Both teams therefore come into this game needing points from it just as much as each other. Sporting Delhi have already had problems with their defence late in games in their last match, while ATK Mohun Bagan have just come off a game in which they failed to score at all, and now have to go away again. Based on the expected line-ups, Sporting Delhi are likely to set up a defence focused on solidity first and then use counter-attacks from the flanks, while ATK Mohun Bagan are likely to control the midfield and push the game up both wings. This game is likely to shape up with ATK Mohun Bagan having more of the ball and trying to open up the play, while Sporting Delhi wait for counter-attacking moments and try to keep the game within a range where they can stay competitive. If the hosts deal well with crosses from the flanks and do not concede early in the game, the chance of a close contest remains open.
