Bengaluru FC will restart their ISL campaign after the first break with a trip to Pune to take on the winless hosts in the 15th match of the ISL season. Bengaluru will start the game as the favourites but Pune will receive a huge boost with the return of Marcelinho to the starting XI.

Bengaluru started their season with a 1-0 win against Chennaiyin FC in what was a rematch of the final from the last edition of the final. However, in their second match, they were unlucky to get just a point as the defence was unable to hold onto the lead that Chhetri had gifted them two minutes from regulation time. 

Pune, on the other hand, have not had a great start to the tournament and are still winless with two games played. The biggest problem for the Punekars has been the lack of goals, with the table showing just one goal in the scored column. They will, however, get a huge boost with the return of their main threat in Marcelinho but a match against a solid Bengaluru defence might not be the best for him to make his first start of the season. 

Last season, this fixture ended with Bengaluru sealing a 3-1 win while Pune escaped with a draw in Bengaluru. When the two met again in the semi-finals, the duo played out a 0-0 draw in Balewadi before BFC sealed the tie at home with a 3-1 win. 

FC Pune City Starting XI : Vishal Kaith (GK), Matt Mills, Adil Khan, Jonathan Vila, Emiliano Alfaro (C), Marcelo Pereira, Nikhil Poojari, Sarthak Golui, Martin Diaz, Ashique Kuruniyan, Sahil Panwar.

Bengaluru FC Starting XI : Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (GK), Rahul Bheke, Albert Serran, Juanan, Erik Paartalu, Miku, Harmanjot Khabra, Sunil Chhetri (C), Dimas Delgado, Udanta Singh, Nishu Kumar.
