After being stunned by NorthEast United FC in their last recent outing, ATK Mohun Bagan will return to Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata to host FC Goa on Wednesday, December 28.
The Mariners, plagued by injuries, ended up suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Highlanders. After 10 straight losses in the league, this was the season's first victory and points for NorthEast United FC.
The Green and Maroon Brigade have now dropped to fourth in the league standings with 20 points from 11 games.

Juan Ferrando has been handicapped after injuries to key players like Tiri, Joni Kauko, and Manvir Singh. But ATK Mohun Bagan are still far from being a pushover.
Meanwhile, FC Goa are in fifth place with 19 points after being held to a 2-2 draw by Jamshedpur FC last week. The Red Miners were the superior side for most of the game, but Carlos Pena's men showed great resilience to take a point.
The last time the two sides met earlier in the season, FC Goa cruised to a 3-0 victory with goals from Aibanbha Dohling, Fares Arnaout, and Noah Sadaoui.

ATK Mohun Bagan vs FC Goa: Prediction
The injuries have handicapped ATK Mohun Bagan and Juan Ferrando completely. It will be some time before the new signings can be integrated into the squad. The Mariners will be hoping to see Dimitrios Petratos lead their attacking line in full flight. But for FC Goa, this would be the perfect opportunity to do the double over the Kolkata giants.
Prediction: ATK Mohun Bagan 1-3 FC Goa
