Bengaluru FC (BFC) faces a stiff problem towards Mumbai City FC of their Indian Super League (ISL) fixture right here on Wednesday.

Mumbai City FC is unbeaten this season beneath Des Buckingham, and clinched the ISL Shield with two video games to spare.

BFC, in the meantime, is in the midst of a implausible run, having notched up a sixth straight win right here a number of days in the past. The 1-0 victory over Kerala Blasters put BFC in prime place to seize a playoff spot.

BFC will probably be with out the providers of Parag Shrivas and Roy Krishna, each of whom picked up their fourth bookings of the season. Head coach Simon Grayson may deliver Sunil Chhetri into the eleven to exchange Krishna in assault.

“Their (Roy and Parag’s) unavailability doesn’t change much. Even if they are missing, there are players who know our tactics and patterns. These players will be looking to make the most of this opportunity which helps us a great deal,” Grayson stated on Tuesday.

BFC may have its fingers full with the Mumbai frontline of Jorge Pereyra Diaz (11 objectives), Lallianzuala Chhangte (10 objectives) and Bipin Singh (6 objectives).

Buckingham can even rely of Greg Stewart and Ahmed Jahouh, who pose a menace with their vary of passing and their means to manage proceedings within the opposition half.
