Background

Prior to this cup final both the finalists ATK and Chennayin won the trophy twice (the maximum ever won by any Indian Super League side). ATK won in 2014 and 2016 both against Kerala Blasters whereas Chennayin won in 2015 against Goa (in the same stadium where the final match of this season was played) and in 2018 against Bengaluru FC. Also both the teams reached the final previously for twice, hence they were going to appear for their 3rd final which also meant that this final was going to decide the 3rd for either of these teams.
