ISL 2017: 5 reasons why Bengaluru FC can win the title

Bengaluru FC have been successful in most of the tournaments they have played in.

Solid defensive partnership

Experienced centre-backs John Johnson and Juan Antonio were amongst the six players retained by Bengaluru ahead of the pre-season draft.

The two defenders have been key lynchpins of the side around whom the team is set up. The success of that partnership will go a long way in determining how far the team goes during the season.

Apart from their seasoned defensive work, they also have the knack of chipping in with crucial goals especially from set pieces.
