Defending ISL champions Hyderabad FC will lock horns with ATK Mohun Bagan in the first leg of the Indian Super League (ISL) semi-final tie at the G. M. C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium on Thursday, March 9.
The Nizams weren't quite as relentless as Mumbai City FC but showed a lot of consistency throughout the 20 matches. They finished in second spot during the league stages, only four points behind the League Shield winners.

ATK Mohun Bagan, meanwhile, have gained momentum at a critical point in the season. Three victories in a row, including a resounding triumph against Odisha FC in the playoff knockout match, will undoubtedly have boosted their morale.
