With revenge in mind, can high-flying Bengaluru FC halt the Mumbai ... (Indian Super League)

The matchup of Bengaluru FC and Mumbai City FC won't be an ordinary contest given that neither team has lost a single match in 2023, with only the Islanders ...

So consequently, the three-man defence will be pinned back into a five-man defence because of Mumbai City FC’s quality,” he comments. Arguably, it can be about an offence versus defence battle, but the teams have also shown their brilliance in the midfield. However, the Fijian striker has been of core importance in the attacking numbers of the Blues. The Blues have only conceded four goals in their current run and they’ve been much tighter at the back. They’ll not be too many more changes, and therefore, the winning streak they are currently on, because of this system, will stand them in good stead against a very strong Mumbai City FC team,” Brown says. This precarious circumstance crops up a problem with regard to the replacements of the missing duo. Having netted 53 goals this season, the highest in the Hero ISL history, the side has three players in the top five goal contributors. In the bigger picture, the Blues have won 100% of the games in 2023 and picked up 18 points from six matches. However, come Wednesday, the revitalised Blues will face the brute force of the recently crowned Hero ISL Shield winners Mumbai City FC. Considering only matches from the current season, they were in 9th place and had picked up 10 points, with three wins and one draw from 12 matches in 2022. In the first nine matches, Bengaluru FC collected only two wins, registered one draw, and faced six losses that saw them scoring only six goals while shipping in 12. The win reinstilled faith not just into the players but also the entire team and the fans.

While Bengaluru FC have looked really good in recent matches and will want to exact revenge, it'll be hard for them to beat the buoyant Mumbai City FC.

While Mumbai was keeping the ball well but were struggling to penetrate the defensive lines of the Blues.

It wasn’t easy to keep the momentum we’ve had going, we had won six out of six before this, and to play such a game against the champions especially when we haven’t qualified was difficult. The dressing room wasn’t buzzing which it is right now, so kudos to each and everyone who chipped in, right from the gaffer to the ball boy. Simon Grayson’s men endured a difficult run in 2022, as the Blues were placed ninth at the end of the year. The striker didn’t leave a single stone unturned and marked his first game of 2023 with a stunning headed goal against his favourite opposition, Mumbai City FC. Chhetri has found it hard to carve a place in Bengaluru FC's playing eleven, with head coach Simon Grayson persisting with the prolific duo Roy Krishna and Sivasakthi Narayanan upfront in their recent games. With this goal, he registered his eighth goal across 12 games against Mumbai City FC, his highest against a single opposition in the league.
