Analysis

In the previous encounter between the two sides, the match had ended in a draw. However, this is a completely different scenario with both the teams having a greater cause to push for a win. Both sides would look to play their best brand of football to produce the best results for their teams but given that ATK Mohun Bagan have been the more consistent sides throughout, they would look to remain calm and back their strength and if they manage to play the first half, not sweating out too much, the pressure would be on Hyderabad who can then make mistakes. However, the Nizams too have had their moments in the tournament and would surely not go down without a fight.
