There is little to choose between Abahani and Chattogram on paper, and the Premier League encounter should reflect that balance. It has been a dominant campaign for the hosts, DLWLD over their last five and a win rate of 61.11% that few in the Premier League can match. Chattogram will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. At Hull, you could argue they had a striker who cost them points.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Abahani favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Chattogram are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. They are sticking to the principles of possession and pressing that have taken them from the fourth tier.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. Everything a manager would want in a modern-day holding midfielder: a robust runner, aggressive tackler and clever distributor.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. Whatever the outcome, the Premier League fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. The win over Liverpool was the first time the team had stepped onto the pitch since the news of the verdict broke.
