ATK Mohun Bagan finished third on the points table in the Indian Super League last season but lost to Hyderabad in the semi-final. Roy Krishna and David Williams, the two attacking stalwarts for the club, will not feature for ATK in the ISL 2022-23 season. The young Indian duo of Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco along with the experienced Hugo Boumous are expected to take charge of the bulk of the goal-scoring duties this season.
Meanwhile, Chennaiyin FC have also suffered a major setback with Rafael Crivellaro’s unavailability for the club this season. Chennaiyin showed great promise in the Durand Cup in September 2022 and new manager Thomas Brdaric will look to build on it in the Indian Super League campaign. Chennaiyin won only five of the 20 games last season, finishing eighth on the ISL points table.

Hugo Boumous: The Moroccan attacker scored five goals and made five assists in the Indian Super League last season. Boumous won the ISL title with Mumbai City FC in the 2020-21 season, registering two goals and five assists in the process. Boumous’ ability to glide past defenders while also providing defence-splitting passes will be a worry for Chennaiyin in this game.
Liston Colaco: The 23-year-old Indian forward was ATK Mohun Bagan’s top goal-scorer in the ISL 2021-22 campaign with eight goals, while he also recorded three assists. Colaco had four goals and two assists in four AFC Cup games this season. His pace and dribbling ability are a threat to most defenders in the Indian Super League.

The Indian central midfielder scored a goal and assisted once last season with 0.9 key passes, 1.4 interceptions and 1.4 tackles per game.
Abdenasser El Khayati: The Rotterdam-born midfielder can play in multiple positions in midfield as well as feature on the wings.

ATK Mohun Bagan vs Chennaiyin FC Indian Super League 2022-23 prediction
ATK Mohun Bagan have solidified their squad in the summer transfer window while the core of the team has remained intact. ATK boast of a stronger team, compared to Chennaiyin FC, for their season opener wherein they also have the home advantage. The odds are in favour of ATK Mohun Bagan on Monday.
