On Tuesday, season 5 champions Bengaluru FC will be up against Mumbai City FC. Mumbai City FC are currently placed at the 2nd position in the points table while Bengaluru FC are at the 5th position. Bengaluru FC will want to continue their unbeaten streak while Mumbai City FC will be eager to have hat-trick of wins.
Mumbai City FC is looking like a totally different team when compared from last season. The team is much stronger and balanced with star players like Adam le Fondre, Hugo, Jahouh, Fall and Santana. Sergio Lobera was however not happy with his team’s performance in their last encounter. Indian players like Rowlin Borges, Bipin Singh, Amrinder Singh are at their best. The team will be looking to have more control over the game so that players like Vikram Pratap Singh could get some game time.
On the other part, one of the most professionally managed teams, Bengaluru FC are facing difficulties in making moves from planks because of absence of Aashique Kuruniyan due to multiple face fractures. Udanta Singh on the right wing is not getting the start because of his dull form. Suresh Wangjam is proving to be a lethal weapon for the west block blues and his pace and solidity adds to the creation of multiple moves. Forwards except Sunil Chhetri are looking in their best touch. Cleiton was looking great at the start but with matches he seemed to loosing what he got from Thai League.
The match will be very crucial for both of the teams. Mumbai City FC will be aiming for the top of the table while Bengaluru would love to be back again in top 4. Let’s have a look over their probable line-ups.
