Bengaluru FC are hosting Mumbai City FC in their latest league stage match of the Indian Super League in matchweek 9 at their citadel Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday (December 8).
Mumbai City FC, who are among the title contenders, are returning to action after a gap of a month and will be playing their first match without manager Des Buckingham, who left for England to lead his boyhood club Oxford University.
Hiyoshi Miyazawa and assistant coach Anthony Fernandes are currently filling in temporarily as someone of that caliber looks to be difficult to replace. After dropping all six of their AFC Champions League group-stage games, the Islanders now need to regain their dominance at home.
As they have no more obligations in the middle of the season, they can return full force to the Indian Super League, where they are presently ranked fifth with 11 points from five games. They trail FC Goa (19), who are in first place and have played two more games (7), by eight points.
But Mumbai City FC, who have had a strong start to the season, is aware that they cannot give up points easily in their quest to keep the shield intact. Aside from the excitement surrounding the new head coach, the team needs to perform flawlessly on the field, and the Blues will be ready to seize the opportunity to exploit any uncertainty in the Mumbai City FC camp.
Simon Grayson's Bengaluru FC, on the other hand, have drawn its last three league games; this is the longest run of draws the club has ever had in the ISL. The way Bengaluru FC rallied to tie the score at 3-3 with Punjab FC last week demonstrated the exceptional attacking talent they have within their ranks.
