Mumbai: Mumbai City face defending champions Bengaluru FC here on Friday in their quest to claim a top-four spot in the Indian Super League.

Bengaluru have 22 points and are placed second. Bengaluru bounced back after their narrow defeat against ATK by claiming three points against FC Goa and Jamshedpur FC. Sunil Chhetri has scored three goals in their last two matches and a total of eight goals this season. Midfielder Erik Paartalu is in excellent form for the Blues with two goals and four assists so far and Dimas Delgado leads the chart for most number of passes this season. (PTI)
