ATK will have to do without Kalu Uche for some time as the striker suffered a groin injury in their last match against Bengaluru FC, where the striker's injury forced the manager to make unforeseen changes and ATK eventually gave away the lead and lost the match. Coppell has decided a 4-4-2 setup this time with Everton Santos and Balwant Singh having the responsibility up top. Though Manuel Lanzarote would be the go-to man for ATK again, with Pronay Halder being the other winger apart from Komal Thatal, he will have to make chances himself.

Pune, on the other hand, don't have Emiliano Alfaro and Marcelinho in the squad and might struggle for creativity in the attacking third. Though ATK's defending hasn't been exemplary so far, especially at home, Coppell's men would hope to keep Pune at bay while they strive make things up front. Set-pieces have also been a huge problem for ATK and Coppell would hope his men get the setup right and stay disciplined.
