#2 Anas Edathodika vs Bayi Kamo Stephane
Despite attackers dominating headlines, Anas Edathodika has proved to be an inspired signing for Mohun Bagan this season. The centre-half from Malappuram has been an important presence in the Mariners’ backline that has conceded the fewest number of goals and kept the most number of clean sheets.
But, the 30-year-old Anas and his central defensive team-mate, Eduardo, will face a striker high on confidence in Aizawl’s Bayi Kamo Stephane. Kamo is the Reds’ top scorer this season with six goals to his name. And his brace against Churchill Brothers last weekend underlined the Ivorian’s impact at Aizawl in his first campaign with them.
Blessed with pace and an eye for goal, keeping the in-form Kamo in check will probably be the biggest challenge Anas and co. will have faced this season. Will Kamo be the man to breach Bagan’s water-tight defence? Will Anas give a defensive masterclass on Saturday? We will have the answers tomorrow.
