 "ISL 2018-19: When and where to watch ATK take on NorthEast United FC")
Title contenders ATK were in for a rude shock in their opening game against Kerala Blasters in which they were beaten 0-2 at Salt Lake Stadium, which, in the words of their manager Steve Coppell, the home team wanted to make their fortress.
However, the Englishmen and his team will get another chance on Wednesday to make a fresh start when they host NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) who drew against a strong FC Goa in Guwahati. It won't be easy though, for either team.
Asked about NorthEast United, Coppell said, "Great respect for them the way he sets up his team. Again elements of continuity from last season. In terms of imposing the style of play and the authority, they are a quality side. They have strong individual players. Tomorrow will be a tough game. Every game in ISL is tough."
NorthEast United coach Elco Schattorie, meanwhile, said it would be a difficult game on the road against ATK, though they have done their homework.
"I have looked at their last game. I have noted points on where we could take advantage. But it will be a difficult match," Schattorie said.
Both teams endured wretched runs last season with NorthEast finishing rock-bottom and ATK a rung above them.
ATK have a 5-2 win-loss record from eight matches against the Guwahati franchise.
