Mohun Bagan face Hyderabad in battle of strong defences
MARGAO: It will be a battle between two solid defensive setups as ATK Mohun Bagan face Hyderabad FC at the Fatorda Stadium on Friday. While Hyderabad have conceded just one goal in the three matches they have played thus far, Bagan have conceded twice, although both goals came in their previous match which was also their first defeat of the season.
Both sides also have depended on their strikers to provide goals -- Roy Krishna scoring four of the five goals that Bagan have scored thus far while both of Hyderabad's goals have been scored by Aridane Santana.
Bagan also remain the only team to not concede a goal from open play but their weakness in defending set pieces was exposed by Jamshedpur FC in their previous game. Coach Antonio Habas noted that it is an area that needs to be tightened up. IANS
