TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru FC Preview

The Blues underlined their supremacy in their second match of the competition, winning 3-0 in the southern derby against Hyderabad FC. Overall, they had 73% possession, with Rahul Bheke scoring once and Sunil Chhetri adding two.

Sunil Chettri, on the other hand, was the night's biggest star. The Blues had little offensive impact during the first half, but that changed when Chettri came on as a substitute in the 57th minute. The effects were clear: Bengaluru had 12 shots in the second half compared to two in the first, and of course two goals, both by Chettri. 

Given his performance in the second half of the game, it is likely that coach Gerrard Zaragoza would want to use him as a potent force at that period, especially given his age. Though there is a case of him starting against a more dangerous side like Mohun Bagan. 

Stats That Matter 

Bengaluru FC are ranked 3rd in ball possession with 59%. They average 11.5 shots and 5.5 corners per game. Sunil Chhetri is the top scorer for the team with 2 goals.

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

Even though they won their most recent game, it was far from convincing, as they struggled to earn three points against North East United. As in the first game versus City, the Mariners went up 1-0 early but quickly squandered the lead, leaving them down by one goal at halftime. However, they quickly increased the pressure and created more chances in the second half (3 huge opportunities created and secured three points thanks to goals from Subhash Bose and Cummings. 

Heading into the game against Bengaluru, the coach will have to think about how he will address his defensive concerns, which resurfaced in the second game. All too frequently, his side was getting cut open.

BENGALURU FC vs ATK MOHUN BAGAN
Winning Prediction

Prior to the encounter against North East United, Bagan had gone winless in all competitions. Coach Molina will undoubtedly be thrilled to have ended the team's winless streak. Now, up against a team against whom they have had a run of three consecutive wins, Molina will be hoping to make it two out of two this season. Furthermore, the Mariners won their last meeting with a score of 4-0. However, Bengaluru is on a five-match unbeaten streak at home this year and will pose a stiff challenge to the visitors. We predict the match to end in a high scoring draw.  

We predict a Draw (2-2)
