TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful

• The recent game against Punjab witnessed Bengaluru scoring three goals

• The form of Sunil Chhetri remains impressive

Reasons to be fearful

• Despite scoring three goals in the last match, Bengaluru failed to win the game

• Defensively, the team has the second-worst record

Bengaluru are coming on the high of getting three goals for the first time in a league match this season. Previously, the team has struggled to get over 1.5 goals, as they had only managed this feat on two occasions in the past seven games. After scoring three goals against Punjab, Bengaluru were very disappointed not to get three points. The team remains two points away from the top six places.

Star man – Sunil Chhetri

Sunil Chhetri is the top scorer for Bengaluru with three goals. Even though he has scored from open play only once since November, the quality from the veteran will be key if Bengaluru are to get three points.

Mumbai City FC Preview

Reasons to be cheerful 

• A return to league action will be a welcome relief after the difficulty of the AFC Champions League matches

• Mumbai City are unbeaten in the league

Reasons to be fearful

• The team has lost a major chunk of confidence in recent games

• Mumbai City have struggled in many of the recent games against Bengaluru

Mumbai City will be relieved to come back to the comforts of domestic matches. After three successive losses in the AFC Champions League, the team is in need of a rejuvenation and some much-needed victories. The exit from the AFC Champions League is likely to help Mumbai City focus more on the ISL matches. Coach Anthony Fernandes was disappointed to a great extent with the results in ACL, but the team are expected to rectify the mistakes in the ISL. Mumbai City are yet to suffer a loss in the ISL 2023-24 season.

Star man – Jorge Pereyra Díaz

Jorge Pereyra Díaz is the key player for Mumbai City in the ISL matches this season. He is the club’s leading scorer by a significant margin. After hitting five goals so far this season, the forward is looking for more. He failed to get goals in the ACL games.

BENGALURU FC vs MUMBAI CITY FC
Winning Prediction

Even though Mumbai City are coming on the back of three successive defeats in the ACL, they are likely to have more quality than Bengaluru, who have not managed a victory in the recent five games. The overall record against Bengaluru may not be great for Mumbai City with only one win and four defeats in the last five meetings, but they are likely to come out on top.
