The AFC Cup match between ATK Mohun Bagan and Abahani Dhaka will take place at Salt Lake Stadium on Tuesday at 7:00 pm IST.
After securing a resounding victory over Sri Lankan champions Blue Star in the second preliminary round, ATK Mohun Bagan heads into their decisive qualifying encounter against Abahani Dhaka for a spot in the AFC Cup group stages. Displaying prowess, Juan Ferrando’s squad triumphed 5-0 against Blue Star SC, affirming their favorite status. Despite their domestic strength, Abahani Dhaka stands as a tougher challenge with a strong position in the local league and notable foreign players like Raphael Augusto bolstering their midfield. Yet, the Salt Lake Stadium expects another stellar performance from ATKMB, who are determined to avenge last year’s defeat and ensure a group stage entry.
On the other side, Abahani Dhaka arrives with momentum, riding an unbeaten streak of five games. Their Brazilian striker ‘Dori’ Nascimento’s prolific 11 goals in 11 games in various competitions underline their attacking vigor. Spearheaded by Daniel Colindres and Jewel Rana, they aim to overcome their historical absence from the group stage and emerge victorious against unfamiliar opponents. While Amrinder Singh’s participation remains uncertain, Coach Mario Lemos boasts a fully fit squad and is poised to challenge ATK Mohun Bagan in an intriguing showdown, marking their first-ever encounter since the merger of ATK and Mohun Bagan.
