#1 ATK looks set to finish at the top

There is a huge incentive for the club to finish at the top of the ISL points table this season as the honour of becoming the first club from India to participate at the AFC Champions League beckons for them. And, with a comparatively easier run of matches, ATK might bag that prize.
The Kolkata side has done a double over FC Goa and should finish ahead of the Gaurs if both the sides end the competition level on points. With encounters against a beleaguered Jamshedpur FC, Odisha FC sans Aridane Santana, and a home game against Chennaiyin FC lined-up, ATK can bag all the nine points from their next three games.
FC Goa, too, has similar sets of fixtures with trips to Odisha and Jamshedpur alongside home encounters with Hyderabad FC and Mumbai City FC. Bengaluru FC has a slightly tougher run-in with two AFC Cup Qualifiers encounters sandwiched between their clashes against Hyderabad FC, Chennaiyin FC, and Kerala Blasters.
The clash between Bengaluru FC and ATK could decide who finishes on top.
