FC Bengaluru vs Mumbai City FC Match Prediction
India
Fatorda Stadium
The Blues are currently the most in-form teams of the ISL winning their 6 games putting them right in contention for the qualifying playoff rounds. Last season’s Shield winners looked to be down and out losing 8 out of their first 12 games played in the ISL winning just three games and drawing two. The resurgence has now put them on the 5th place level on points with 4th place ATK Mohun Bagan having played a game more. Roy Krishna sealed the win for Bengaluru FC in their last game against 3rd-placed Kerala Blasters FC. Mumbai City FC will certainly be in for a tough test against Bengaluru FC with invincibility and play-off qualification at stake.
