Opponents ATK, who is on the sixth place with 15 points, need a win to stay in the hunt for playoffs but playing NorthEast United in their den is never an easy task. They are coming on the back of a 3-2 win over Chennaiyin FC, which is a positive sign.

NorthEast United FC is without their defender Provat Lakra, who is out due to an ankle injury that he suffered in the last game. He should be likely replaced by Reagan Singh in the NEUFC starting eleven for the big clash.

Rowlin Borges has been one of the outstanding performers for the home side and the composure he brings in the midfield makes him one of the players to watch out for.  Indian Super League 2018–19 Schedule in PDF for Free Download: List of Full Football Match Timetable, Date, Venue & Time of ISL 5.

Bartholomew Ogbeche and Lalthathanga Khawlhring have shared the weight of scoring goals and are more than a handful for the visiting ATK. Federico Gallego has three goals and five assists so far in the league to emerge as one of the best midfielders of the league.

ATK has a full squad to chose its players from and there are no suspension or injuries. Balwant Singh as forward with Manuel Lanzarote pulling the strings from midfield has borne fruit for the former champions and Steve Coppell will likely stick to this plan.

Ankit Mukherjee and Ricky Lallawmawma are attacking full-backs who love to venture forward. This will likely test John Johnson and Andre Bikey in the backline to maintain the shape.

ATK will make it very difficult for themselves to be beaten and this game is a proper evenly poised contest. The side who keeps the composure in front of the goal is likely to win as chances will be far and few.
