ATK Mohun Bagan and Goa have a history of draws and we could see another when they meet in the Indian Super League on Wednesday. The sides have ended level on seven of the 14 times they have met, and it could be a share of the points again at Fatorda Stadium.

ATK Mohun Bagan Form

ATK Mohun Bagan have gone two games without victory after losing 2-1 to Jamshedpur and drawing 1-1 with Hyderabad in their most recent fixtures.

Antonio Lopez Habas' side won their opening three games of the season with 1-0 wins over Kerala Blasters and Odisha, and a 2-0 victory over ISL newcomers East Bengal.

The defending champions' winning run came to an end against Jamshedpur with Roy Krishna's fourth of the season nothing more than a consolation.

Manvir Singh put ATK 1-0 up against Hyderabad in their last game, only to concede a penalty 11 minutes later.

Javi Hernandez and Tiri both missed the game against Hyderabad but come back into the side if fit. Wing-back Michael Soosairaj remains out.

Goa Form

After a slow start to the season, last season's table toppers have won their last two games.

A 3-1 win over Kerala Blasters, which came thanks to an Igor Angulo double, was followed by a 1-0 victory over Odisha at the weekend. Spanish forward Angulo got the only goal of the game to take his tally to six goals.

Juan Ferrando's Goa had started the season with a 2-2 with Bengaluru before losing 1-0 to Mumbai City and drawing 1-1 with NorthEast United.

Spaniard Edu Badia was the one to miss out in the last game as part of Juan Ferrando's rotation of his overseas stars.
