Bengaluru: Going into the second leg of the Indian Super League football semi-finals, Bengaluru FC’s confidence rests on two things. The first is a win at the opponent’s court in the first quarter. The second is that the competition is at home. Mumbai City will be the opponent in the match at Srikanthirava Stadium at 7.30 pm.
Bengaluru beat Mumbai City who won the League Winners Shield in the first leg thanks to Sunil Chhetri’s lone goal. Bengaluru has won ten matches in a row. Bengaluru’s strength is the defense played by Aleksandar Jovanovic, Sandesh Jhingan and Bruno Ramirez. Coach Simon Grayson uses Prabirdas and Roshansingh as wingbacks.
Mumbai is strong on paper. The attacking quartet of Yorge Diaz-Greg Stewart-Bipinsingh-Lalianswala Changte is the best in the league. Mumbai is also the team that has lost the fewest matches this season. Despite losing the first leg, Bengaluru is not underestimating Mumbai City at all. Therefore, a semi-final similar to the final is waiting for the fans today.
