In fact, only once before has a Bangladeshi team gone three consecutive games without defeat in the competition (Abahani Limited Dhaka won four in a row in 2019).
ATK Mohun Bagan have won their opening two games in the 2021 AFC Cup – only once before have they (as Mohun Bagan) managed three wins in a row in the competition (in 2016). Should they avoid defeat in the game against Bashundhara Kings, they will equal their longest ever undefeated run in the AFC Cup (five games in 2016 (W3 D2) – currently W3 D1).
