ATK Mohun Bagan made it to the playoffs after a 3rd placed finish in the regular league phase. Juan Ferrando’s men finished with 34 points and sealed their spot with a derby win over arch-rivals East Bengal in their final league match.
Greek striker Dimitri Petratos has been their leading goal scorer with 9 goals, followed by Hugo Boumous (4) and Carl McHugh (3). It has been a fantastic season for ATK, and they will be keen to progress to the semi-finals with a win over Odisha. Their superior position in the league will mean the match will be played in Kolkata, adding further advantage to them.
Odisha qualified for the playoffs for the first time in their history. They finished 6th in the league table and will be aiming to defy the odds and get a positive result against Mohun Bagan. It has to be seen how they fare against a strong ATKMB side.
Odisha will be banking a lot on their talismanic striker Diego Mauricio. The Brazilian has netted 12 goals in the season and has been pivotal in their progress so far. Left-winger Nandha Kumar Sekar has also been instrumental for them, scoring 6 goals in the campaign.
