Mohun Bagan, Hyderabad FC Fight for Top Spot

FATORDA, Jan 4: High-flying Hyderabad FC and ATK Mohun Bagan will vie for the top spot when they meet in the 2021-22 Hero Indian Super League match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, here on Wednesday.

Since Juan Ferrando took over from Antonio Lopez Habas, ATKMB have got back to winning ways, extending their run to two games in the last outing against FC Goa. The Mariners are back in the top four with 14 points from eight matches but in Hyderabad, they will face an opponent who are on a seven-game unbeaten run.

Placed second in the points table, Hyderabad will go top of the table if they beat ATKMB as they are one point adrift of table-toppers Mumbai City FC having 15 in their kitty from eight matches. Even if the Manolo Marquez-coached side draws, they will go to the top riding with a better goal difference. For ATKMB, the motivation is the same because if they win against Hyderabad, they will also go top of the heap. Mumbai lost to Odisha last night leaving the fight for the top spot open.
