TEAMS PREVIEW

Mohammedan SC Preview

It’s been a nightmare start for the Kolkatan side, with the Black Panthers slumping to a third straight defeat — the latest a crushing loss to derby rivals Mohun Bagan. Conceding five goals while facing 29 shots, 11 of them on target, and managing just 57% passing accuracy with an xG of 0.16 underlined their struggles.

The lone bright spot was Lalthankima, who scored their first goal of the season — and the opener of the match — after coming into the XI alongside Lalngaihsaka. A small positive in an otherwise bruising night.

Key Players

The two changes paid off, with Lalngaihsaka setting up Lalthankima for their breakthrough goal. More will be expected from the duo going forward. Still, with Mohammedan’s defence looking fragile, much will once again depend on goalkeeper Subhajit Bhattacharjee, who has already made 11 saves across the last two matches.

Mohammedan SC Probable XI -  Subhajit Bhattacharjee (GK); Mondal, Gaurav Bora, Pukhrambam Meitei, Parray, Amarjit Singh Kiyam, Fanai, Mahitosh Roy, Lalthankima, Lalngaihsaka, Thokchom Adison Singh. 

Bengaluru FC Preview

Bengaluru FC began the season in style with a convincing win over Sporting Club Delhi, but since then, momentum has slipped. A draw against NorthEast was followed by their first away defeat in MD3, losing to Punjab after conceding twice in the first half without reply.

The Blues looked blunt in attack once again, managing just one shot on target and an xG of 0.58, while allowing five shots on target at the other end.

 Renedy Singh stuck with an unchanged XI, but the lack of spark up front remains a concern. Meanwhile, Rahul Bheke, who featured in the opener, is still doubtful for the upcoming clash.

Key Players 

Bengaluru may have looked blunt in their last two outings, but Mohammedan’s leaky defence offers a timely opportunity. With opportunity up for grabs, the onus will be on Braian Sanchez, Ryan Williams and Sunil Chhetri to step up and rediscover their scoring touch.

Bengaluru FC Probable XI -  Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (GK);  Nikhil Poojary, Bungson Singh,Meetei Haobam , Roshan Singh, Kuziev, Fanai, Braian Sanchez, Ryan Williams, Ashique Kuruniyan, Narayanan. 

MOHAMMEDAN SC vs BENGALURU FC
Winning Prediction

Wins have been a rare commodity for Mohammedan SC, not just this season but stretching back to the last, with only one victory in their previous 20 ISL matches. Bengaluru FC, meanwhile, are searching for rhythm in attack and carry a worrying away record  with just one win in their last eight league outings on the road.

Even so, on paper the Blues possess greater depth and quality, and this could be the night they finally translate that advantage into three much-needed points.
