This Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 7:30 PM IST, Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru will host a mega-showdown as Bengaluru FC will lock horns with Mohun Bagan Super Giant in an Indian Super League (ISL) game that promises more twists than a last-minute penalty shootout.
Well this is what you can expect from today’s clash at ISL 2024.
Bengaluru FC
Under head coach Gerard Zaragoza, Bengaluru FC have turned their home ground into a fortress. They had suffered only one defeat from the last nine games and that too an unbelievable 0-4 defeat at the hands of Mohun Bagan last season. Two successive wins against East Bengal and Hyderabad FC finally set their camp enthused to avenge that humbling experience.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant
The Mariners are just the goal-scoring machinery, scoring 43 open play goals since last season and leaving Bengaluru FC’s 18 goals far behind. This combination of Mohun Bagan is going to entertain the football fans with their attacking play.
Tactical Showdown
Zaragoza knows that strength in depth is the key, and fresh legs could make a difference in the final minutes. In contrast, Jose Molina is charging his team to intensify their good run of 3-1 win over NorthEast United.
Head-to-Head
Historically, Mohun Bagan Super Giant has had the better of six of nine recorded encounters. Bengaluru FC will look to turn things on their head and prove that this season is their season!
Players To Watch Out For
On Bengaluru’s side, watch for Rahul Bheke, who had 102 touches in the last ISL game and Sunil Chhetri with four penalties this season. For Mohun Bagan, Jason Cummings needs one more goal to reach his tenth goal this season, while Dimitri Petratos looks to better contribute to Roy Krishna’s.
So keep your jerseys, popcorn and seats ready, for tonight is going to be an epic showdown in ISL 2024.
