ISL 2023-24: Bengaluru FC vs Mohun Bagan – Build-up

Mohun Bagan are set to travel to Bengaluru FC in their penultimate match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 league stages at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on April 11. The Mariners have to win this match if they aim to keep their ISL Shield aspirations up and face up a title decider against Mumbai City in both their final match of the league stages.

Bengaluru FC have been knocked out of the ISL playoffs race after their recent loss to East Bengal. The highest they can potentially achieve is the seventh spot if some other results go their way. While it might seem that they have nothing to play for, that is not the case at all. If not anything, the Blues have their fans to fight for.

Bengaluru FC have always been strongly represented by their strong fan base, who are still going to turn up in big numbers for this final game of the 2023-24 season. That should give Gerard Zaragoza’s men enough motivation to take the fight to Mohun Bagan and oust their ISL Shield chances.

The equations are quite simple for Mohun Bagan. If they aspire to win their maiden ISL Shield, then they need to win their next two games. Saying that they need to defeat Bengaluru FC in their yard. The Mariners might not have their head coach Antonio Habas in these matches, but they need to produce a spirited performance for their fans’ joy.

Another win can further improve the momentum and confidence levels of Mohun Bagan, giving them enough spirit to strengthen their chances of winning the ISL Shield.

Javi Hernandez has been one of the few bright sparks in Bengaluru FC’s disappointing season. The 34-year-old has proven to be a hard-working, efficient midfielder who has been quintessential between their defensive and attacking areas.

Joni Kauko has been a prolific addition to the Mohun Bagan side in the second half of the ISL 2023-24 season. The midfielder has added a sense of explosiveness, energy, and creativity in midfield. Kauko has excelled in his free role, often winning back possession and working quickly to reach his forwards in the transitions.
