TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengaluru FC Preview

Head coach Gerard Zaragoza has transformed Bengaluru FC into a high-tempo, direct side that thrives on quick transitions and sharp finishing. The team ended the 2024-25 ISL season on a strong note, reaching the final but narrowly losing to Mohun Bagan. 

Their attacking prowess was evident, as they scored the joint-highest number of goals from inside the box during the campaign. Captain Sunil Chhetri and goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu are expected to play crucial roles in the upcoming Super Cup. 

Chhetri finished as the team’s top scorer with 14 goals — the second-highest tally in the league — highlighting his continued impact at the top level. Bengaluru FC scored a total of 28 goals in the season, ranking fifth in the ISL, and head into the Super Cup opener with a fully fit squad and no major injury concerns. 

Bengaluru FC (4-2-3-1): Gurpreet Singh Sandhu - Rahul Bheke, Chinglensana Singh, Mohammed Salah, Naorem Roshan Singh - Suresh Singh Wangjam, Lalremtluanga Fanai - Sunil Chhetri (C), Édgar Méndez, Ryan Williams - Sivasakthi Narayanan 

Mohammedan SC Preview

Mohammedan SC enters the Super Cup with confidence after their 1-0 victory over Bengaluru FC in January 2025. However, the club has faced administrative challenges, including a FIFA transfer ban, forcing them to rely on their existing core of players. 

Several key departures, including forwards Alexis Gomez and Carlos Franca, have further weakened the squad. Their 2024-25 ISL campaign was a difficult one, with defensive frailties — particularly during set pieces — proving costly. The team relied heavily on Mirjalol Kasimov’s free-kick prowess, which played a decisive role in their win over Bengaluru in their previous encounter. 

Lalremsanga Fanai finished as the team’s top scorer with 10 goals, while the side conceded six goals from corners — the most in the league. Despite these issues, Mohammedan SC has no major injury concerns heading into the upcoming match. 

Mohammedan SC (4-4-2): Ravi Kumar - Sajad Hussain Parray, Anwar Ali, Yumnam Raju, Vikram Partap Singh - Henry Kisekka, Myron Mendes, Seydou Koné, Joseba Beitia - Henry Kisekka, Hmingthanmawia Ralte. 

BENGALURU FC vs MOHAMMEDAN SC
Winning Prediction

Bengaluru FC are expected to win this contest. Their attack, led by the ever-reliable Sunil Chhetri, has the quality to overpower a Mohammedan SC side weakened by a transfer ban and key player departures. While Mohammedan can still pose a threat from set pieces, Bengaluru’s stronger squad, solid form from their ISL campaign, and aggressive tactics under Gerard Zaragoza should give them the upper hand.
