Bengaluru FC vs Mumbai City FC: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know | ISL 2022-23

Bengaluru FC will look to extend their winning run to seven games when they host newly crowned Indian Super League Shield winners Mumbai City FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Wednesday, February 15.

The Blues have turned around their form since the start of the year. Having won three of their opening 12 games, they struggled to get results, with Simon Grayson constantly rotating his squad to find solutions.

The English tactician’s teams are known for going on winning runs and he is certainly working his magic again, this time in Bangalore. Last time out, they came out on top against their southern rivals Kerala Blasters with a goal to nil, in what was another resolute display at the back.

With 28 points to their name, Bengaluru FC are fifth in the standings and a victory could seal their playoff berth. Meanwhile, Mumbai City FC is the 2022-23 season’s ISL Shield winner and they clinched it in style. After going a goal down against FC Goa, the Islanders bounced back and put five past the distraught Gaurs.

The thrilling game ultimately ended with a scoreline of 5-3 and it was a night of celebration for Des Buckingham’s side. Despite winning the trophy, they will look to carry their momentum to get themselves in shape for the semi-final showdown.
