ISL 2023-24: Mohun Bagan SG vs Bengaluru FC head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know 

Indian Super League (ISL) defending champions Mohun Bagan Super Giants will face off against Bengaluru FC in a repeat of last year's final. The game will take place at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Wednesday, September 27.

Mohun Bagan enjoyed a positive start to their ISL season, winning 3-1 against Punjab FC. They also won the Durand Cup earlier this year and have been performing well in the AFC Cup group stages.

They also have a strong team on paper, which makes it a tough task for Bengaluru FC to break their winning streak. Coach Juan Ferrando is also doing an excellent job with his tactics and game plans.

On the other hand, Simon Grayson's Bengaluru FC suffered a defeat against arch-rivals Kerala Blasters in their ISL season 10 opener last week. Despite their slow start to the season, however, they bring out their best in crucial matches. Therefore, the upcoming clash promises to be an exciting battle between two of the best teams in Indian football.
