Bengaluru FC will take on ATK Mohun Bagan in another must-win game in the ISL season eight, at the Fatorda Stadium on Sunday. The Marco Pezzaiuoli-coached side is currently sixth in the table with 26 points. A defeat in the penultimate match of the season will extinguish all hopes of a playoff spot.
ATKMB is relatively in a much better situation, on 31 points with three games to go. But Juan Ferrando’s outfit has lost steam in the last two games, taking just two points against a maximum of six against Kerala Blasters and Odisha FC, denting its chances of securing the League Shield. A top-four finish is, however, well within reach and a win against BFC will ease the nerves and clear the path.
BFC bounced back well from two successive losses to Hyderabad FC and NorthEast United FC, beating Odisha in fine fashion. But one among the personnel who secured the victory, midfielder Danish Farooq, will be suspended for the clash.
