ISL 2024-25: Mohammedan SC aims to break goalless run against high-flying Bengaluru FC
Mohammedan SC, which has only won one league game so far, will have its task cut out as it aims to break its goalless run against a Bengaluru FC side that is seeking an elusive clean sheet in 10 Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 matches, when both sides meet at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.
The Blues had secured a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season and now have a chance to do a double over a Kolkata club for the first time since the 2018-19 season, when they defeated ATK twice.
For Mohammedan SC, this is an opportunity to end its five-game goalless run in the league, which is the joint third-longest such streak in ISL history.
BFC is currently second in the league standings with 27 points from 14 matches. MSC, on the other hand, is bottom in the table with just seven points from 14 games, and is struggling to find the back of the net, having scored only five goals this season.
However, it has been on an encouraging run recently, recording points in back-to-back matches after goalless draws against Odisha FC and NorthEast United FC.
Holding their dynamic frontlines at bay was an appreciative effort by the Mohammedan unit, and it hoped that this defensive resolve could translate into greater efficiency moving forward.
The Kolkata has signed Bengal’s recent Santosh Trophy hero, Robi Hansda on loan in an attempt to boost its attack.
Sunil Chhetri and Co. have won and lost twice each in their previous five outings. They are five points behind the top-placed Mohun Bagan Super Giant (32), who have played the same number of games as Bengaluru FC.
