ISL 2020-21: Bengaluru FC vs ATK Mohun Bagan - Match Preview, Telecast, Live Stream Details, and Prediction

Match 88 of the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) season sees Bengaluru FC take on ATK Mohun Bagan at the Fatorda Stadium, Margoa, in Goa on Tuesday evening.

Bengaluru FC find themselves in a crunch clash against ATK Mohun Bagan as they look to push for a top-four finish. The Blues were held to a goalless draw by Chennaiyin FC in their last match, while ATK Mohun Bagan registered a 4-1 victory over Odisha FC. This season has been unlikely no other for the Blues, who have struggled to duplicate their form of past seasons. They have picked up just one win in their 10 matches, and have struggled at both ends of the pitch.

Meanwhile, ATK Mohun Bagan have netted seven goals in their last two games, and have finally found their scoring boots. Their air-tight defence has conceded just 10 goals this season, only table-toppers Mumbai City FC have conceded fewer. However, the Mariners haven't kept a clean sheet in their last three games, and the Blues will be hoping their defensive struggles continue.
