As it stands Pune City will be the happier of the two sides as they had mentioned it pre-match press conference that all they wanted from this game was to not concede a goal. Whereas BFC too shouldn’t be much worried about the result, as a win at home will ensure that they go through to the finals, something which is their ultimate aim.

Bengaluru, though, will be wary of Pune City as the Stallions showed that they possess the required firepower to hurt BFC. With the away goals rule in place, BFC will look to keep Pune at bay.

One must, though, keep in mind that beating BFC in Bangalore is a herculean task, and very few teams have managed to do the same in the past 24 months.
