Bengaluru FC vs Bashundhara Kings: Team news

Bengaluru's attack was left wanting in the ATK Mohun Bagan defeat under new coach Pezzaiuoli. Sunil Chhetri was virtually absent on the evening before being replaced by Leon Augustine. Udanta Singh, too, looked off colour. It will be crucial for the Chhetri-Cleiton Silva partnership in attack to click in the penultimate game in the group stage.

The Blue's back two in Alan Costa and Yrondu Musavu-King can expect to deal with a lot from Bashundhara's attack who have scored as many as 67 goals in all competitions this season, with names such as Raul Becerra, Jonathan Fernandes, Khaled Shafiei and Robinho (on loan from Fluminense) to look out for.

Ashique Kuruniyan was injured in the game against Club Eagles and was not included in the line-up of the last game.
