ISL 2024-25: Bengaluru FC vs Mohun Bagan – Build-up

The Blues, who are unbeaten at home, will take on heavyweight Mohun Bagan Super Giant this Saturday, September 28th, at Bengaluru’s Sree Kanteerava Stadium in a highly anticipated Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 clash. With two wins in a row, Bengaluru FC have made a strong start and will be looking to extend their perfect run in front of their home crowd.

Jose Molina’s Mohun Bagan, meanwhile, are aiming for their second win of the season after a comeback victory over NorthEast United in their last fixture. The Mariners will be eager to secure three points and break Bengaluru FC’s fortress, making this a highly anticipated clash between two of the league’s top contenders.

The Stakes

Bengaluru FC

Bengaluru FC are off to a good start and has already achieved the momentum that they had been seeking. The Blues have won their past two games in a row this season, and they’ll be looking to keep their streak going at home against the Mariners. So far, the team’s good results have given them hope, but the game against Mohun Bagan will be tougher.

Head coach Gerard Zaragoza knows that overcoming Mohun Bagan, who are fresh off a comeback win, won’t be an easy task. To secure another three points, Bengaluru FC will need to be at their absolute best, both in terms of form and team coordination. With the Mariners also finding their rhythm, it will be interesting to see how Bengaluru prepares for this crucial encounter and whether they can keep their flawless winning streak intact.

Mohun Bagan

Mohun Bagan started their 2024-25 ISL campaign with not the best possible result but got back on track quickly. In their last game, they came from behind against the Highlanders to win the game and take three points from the game. With a better head-to-head record against Bengaluru FC, Mohun Bagan will be hoping for a positive start and to continue their winning thrust.

Therefore, Jose Molina, the head coach, will be resolute in his efforts to secure the Mariners a strong position on the points table by ensuring that they take the maximum number of points from each match early in the season, as keeping the pressure on from the start will be key as they set their sights on an another successful ISL campaign.

There’s only one name now in this club’s limelight, and that is Vinith Venkatesh. This youngster proved in both matches he appeared this season. Vinith’s impressive runs with the balls through the channels have grabbed everyone’s attention. When last featured in their match against the Nizams, he showcased brilliant attacking play with the ball.

There is no question that Vinith will be a player to keep an eye on when they play Mohun Bagan because he will do everything he can to keep the opponent’s defenders from getting close. The playmaker will try to work well with the other players to give them as many chances to score as possible from the early minutes of the game.

Since last season, Dimitri Petratos has been the focal point for the Mariners attacking play. The Australian forward has proved why he is one of the finest forwards in the league. Even under the new structure of Jose Molina, the 31-year-old Australian has been the mastermind behind the Mariners’ offensive moves.

So, when he plays against Bengaluru FC this Saturday, all eyes will be on him as he will strive to score goals and find the back of the net from the early quarters of the game in putting the Mariners ahead and helping the club take three points from this away fixture and end Bengaluru FC’s winning streak at home.
