Bengaluru are having a remarkable debut I-League campaign as they have led the table for the majority of the season and currently are four points clear at the top.
The JSW-owned club had a mini slump after the I-League break as they picked up just one point from two games but bounced back in style last weekend with a convincing 3-0 victory over defending champions Churchill Brothers.
‘The mark of any successful side, in any country in the world is how you react to defeat and we showed tremendous character to bounce back,’ Bengaluru coach Ashley Westwood said. By contrast, United SC are on a nine-match winless streak in the I-League and are in danger of relegation as they are only five points above bottom-placed Churchill Brothers, having played an extra game. Four of those nine games have ended in defeats including a 4-0 hammering against Rangdajied United in the last round.
