Bengaluru FC will be up against Mumbai City FC on Saturday at the GMC Athletic Stadium in the 18th match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22. After their below-par performance in the 2020 edition of the ISL, former champions Bengaluru FC kicked off the new season with a thumping 4-2 win over NorthEast United FC. However, they lost the plot in their next game as they received a 1-3 hammering by Odisha FC, before drawing out 1-1 against Kerala Blasters FC on Sunday. The Sunil Chhetri-led team are currently placed seventh in the ISL 2021-22 standings.
Meanwhile, the defending champions Mumbai City FC kicked off their campaign with a 3-0 win over FC Goa. Then suffered a lopsided 1-3 defeat to Hyderabad FC last Saturday. But the title holders returned with a dominant display as they steamrolled ATK Mohun Bagan 5-1 in a repeat of last season’s final on Wednesday. Des Buckingham’s side climbed to the top of the standings after the fireworks at Fatorda and they will be keen to consolidate that place when they face the former champions on Saturday night.
The match between Bengaluru FC and Mumbai City FC is slated to start at 09:30 pm (IST).
