Two past champions of the Indian Super League (ISL) come face to face in Kolkata this evening with both struggling for form. Their clashes in the past had much more buzz and prominence about to it; this one very well might turn out to be a fight to stay relevant in the race. If you are wondering where to watch the live telecast or online streaming details of ATK vs Chennaiyin FC, ISL 2018-19 match, then you can find the specific information here.
Chennaiyin FC have been so poor that they have a point to show for in the four outings. ATK are not particularly well off at the sixth spot in the ISL 2018-19 Points Table with four points but look good if we compare them to the visitors.
Key man Kalu Uche is struggling with a calf problem and is a significant doubt for ATK. Although mostly subdued in this edition of ISL so far, the forward offers threat upfront and is sure to be missed. All eyes would be on who starts between the sticks for the hosts. Arindam Bhattacharya mistakes may lead to the inclusion of Debjit Majumder in the starting eleven.
Once again Manuel Lanzarote will be pulling strings for ATK from midfield. The Spaniard has shown glimpses of the form that made that made him star in the league last seasons. He will push forward against Chennaiyin to look for spaces as the visitors have hardly looked confident in defence up to this point.
Carlos Salom was brought in to revitalise Chennaiyin’s attack, but he was so poor that coach John Gregory could bring back Indian international Jeje Lalpekhlua back into the fold. Jeje himself has been battling poor form so it will be interesting to see how their forward line fares.
The defence has not been great either, but the duo of Inigo Calderon and Eli Sabia should keep their place. Raphael Augusto and Thoi Singh will be in charge of the midfield and these two dynamic players will a say in the outcome of the game.
If Chennaiyin breaks with pace on the counter, these two are more or less likely to be involved in it. The battle of the British coaches will be interesting to see as with each passing their title dreams are fading. The pressure will be quite significant on them, and they will need their players to respond on the pitch.
