Punjab FC will be hoping to resurrect their ISL campaign and their first test is Sunil Chhetri's Bengaluru on Saturday (February 3).

The newly-promoted Punjab are currently languishing at the second bottom position in the league with just 8 points after 12 matches. On the other hand, the Blues are not far off, as they find themselves in 9th position with 11 points playing the same number of games as their opponents.

Punjab FC vs Bengaluru FC Preview

Both teams have endured a difficult first half of the ISL season, especially Bengaluru FC, who have just managed two victories out of their 12 matches. It is going to be a massive test for both these clubs who also had a disappointing exit in the recently concluded Kalinga Super Cup.

Punjab will be hoping to showcase a better outing in the league at home, as their solitary win came against Chennaiyin at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. They will also take some confidence from their six-goal thriller at Bengaluru earlier this ISL season. Luka Majcen's form in front of goal will be crucial as the Slovenian has found the net 3 times already this season.

Sunil Chhetri-led Bengaluru have far bigger ambitions to fulfil as they find themselves two points off the playoff places. The Blues didn't manage a win in the Super Cup, but with a full-strength team available, coach Gerard Zaragoza will have only three points in mind.

The likes of Javi Hernandez and Sunil Chhetri have sporadically shone as they each have 3 goals in the league so far, but players like Ryan Williams, new signing Oliver Drost will also play a key part if they are to excel in the second half of the season.
