ATK and FC Goa occupy the first and second spots in the ISL points table respectively (27 points each). The Kolkata-based franchise have looked solid in defence and have done well in attack as well. Fiji-born striker Roy Krishna is ATK's highest goalscorer this season and is expected to lead the line in the playoff games as well.
Meanwhile, Goa and Bengaluru are not letting ATK rest easy as they push to cement their spot in the knockout stages. We expect these three teams to make the next stage of the tournament with a game or two to spare.
