The sixth season of Indian Super League (ISL) will kick off today with Kerala Blasters taking on two-time champions ATK at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi. ISL 2019-20 will be played in 10 cities across India and will run till February next year.
With two news franchises in the form of Hyderabad FC and Odisha FC, the sixth edition of ISL is expected to be an enthralling one. The existing teams have made clever moves in the transfer window and will look to take home the crown at the end of February next year.
However, teams like Bengaluru FC, FC Goa and ATK look the strongest on paper and could be the probable title-contenders. Kerala Blasters and Northeast United could be the sleeping giants this season and throw some surprises down the roads along with the two newbies of the season.
