After an average start to the season, both ATK and FC Pune City will be aiming to get their first win of the ISL 2017 season on board, as they face off at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan, better known as the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, today.

ATK got their campaign underway against title rivals Kerala Blasters with a goalless draw at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, in Kochi, last week. They are lacking some firepower up front, as their marquee player and former Tottenham Hotspur star Robbie Keane is set to miss around the first five weeks of the tournament.

Meanwhile, FC Pune City will also be looking to get their first win of the season, after losing their first match 3-2 against the Delhi Dynamos. However, they have shown good attacking intent in the first match against Delhi. It would be interesting to see whether theycan turn things around in front of a packed Salt Lake Stadium.
