Mumbai FC’s Oscar Bruzon - If given space, Churchill are very dangerous in counter-attacks
The trident of Sunil Chhetri, Udanta Singh and CK Vineeth are expected to lead the line while Eugeneson Lyngdoh plays the role of a playmaker. In defence, Sandesh Jhingan will continue to play as Right Back with Nishu Kumar possibly returning to the left as Roca plays a 4 man backline.
Churchill Brothers and Mumbai FC gear up for a crucial six-pointer
Aizawl meanwhile have had a fairy tale run which had a momentary shock last time around when they were held by minnows Minerva Punjab away from home. That highlighted the stark difference in form at home and away for Khalid Jamil’s men. While they have won 7 and drawn a solitary game of their eight matches at home, away from home they have an indifferent record of winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 2. While the Minerva draw broke their four-match winning streak, Aizawl will look to establish their advantage at the top especially with two of their championship rivals playing against each other this week. The team is expected to retain their usual core with the impressive Mahmoud Al Amenah partnering Alfred Jaryan for a formidable midfield combination. Stephen Kamo will be the target man upfront with Jayesh Rane slotting in behind. When the two teams had last met, Brandon Vanlalremdika was on the scoresheet and he will look to carry on the good work from the wings. Interestingly, a Bengaluru win will actually benefit one of the two Kolkata clubs in their title battle while Aizawl have all to play for in the fascinating fixture.
