While looking at the point table you will find that now Mumbai City FC is the table topper who is very keenly followed by Mumbai City FC. And rightly so. As we look into both the teams, Mumbai City FC is almost filled up with the erstwhile Goa team, they have been playing together with the same coach Sergio Lobera for quite some time, and each of them right from players to the coach understands each other perceptive and have been playing according to that. On the other hand, ATK has been the champion last year and this year after being changed to ATKMB they have simply added some of the best defenders to their team and tried to work-out their earlier evidently defect and the Coach Antonio Habas, who has been managing the team has moulded the team to play according to his defence first approach very strategically and the players also groomed very well under him. And when you have the same bunch of players with the same coach it will bear the fruit, and ATKMb is reaping the fruit ATK seeded.
Now let us compare the teams as usual with Attack, Defence & Distribution aspect to understand how the two teams are performing in this ISL
ATKMB ATTACK Mumbai City FC
The Goals scored, the conversion rate & the shooting accuracy clearly indicates why Mumbai City FC is the top of the table. But do this table helps us determine the full picture of the teams? Not at all, and that’s why let’s look at the defence of these two teams.
DEFENCE
This table shows why tough ATKMB has not been as attacking and scoring goals still why they are formidable & why they are the 2nd position of the table. The least number of goals scored in this ISL, keeping clean sheets, winning the duels everything they have done proved the approach of Habbas and his working with the team.
And while looking at the distribution rate the same conclusion is coming and is being justified.
Now let us compare the two most deadliest attacking spears of this ISL, and see how it goes.
Roy Krishna Adam Le Fondre
Both the players are almost on the neck to neck in this ISL and we will eagerly wait to see who takes the upper-hand in this titan clash.
In the mid-field to compare we have chosen two of the most versatile players for both the teams.
Eduardo Garcia Hugo Boumous
Clearly, Hugo is slightly ahead in successful passes, while Garcia is ahead in successful dribbles, so we can see both the players have adapted to the coaches words of their playing style.
And for the taste of the defence let us take on the two best names in the circuit and compare them.
Tiri Mourtada Fall
We can clearly see that Mourtada is quite ahead in all the statistics, and also to mention that Mourtada has scored a goal for his team, obviously gives him too many extra credits.
We can keep comparing the Indian players also one by one in the team as well, but all of that will prove the same thing, that both of the teams are playing according to the strategy of the coaches & both the coaches are successful, so we do not doubt any of them on that. But the ATKMB success also depends on a lot of Indian players like Pranay, Subhashish, Arindam, Prabir, Sandesh to name only a few. And the same goes with Mumbai City FC also. The performance of Rowlin, Mandar, Rayneir, Sarthak, Amrinder, Tondonba speak volume and clearly can pick up the graph of any Football team.
Last but not the least tomorrows match may be a clear contender between any of these names but don’t be surprised if you find David Williams or Bartholomew Ogbeche to become Hero of the team. Williams is steadily improving in every match, and for Ogbeche, he cannot be fielded because other’s are performing too good, but believe us when we say it takes courage to keep such a prolific scorer out of the team who has already scored 3 goals, and we won’t be surprised if he is seen tomorrow in the playing XI.
