MARGAO, Feb 17: Bengaluru FC will be desperate to get back to winning ways and more importantly stay close to the top-four pack when they take on rock-bottom NorthEast United FC in the Indian Super League here on Friday.
The Blues saw their three-game winning run come to an end against league leaders Hyderabad FC the other night.
But head coach Marco Pezzaouli would like to believe the result was just a bad day in the office for his charges who have been in good form otherwise.
Against a struggling NorthEast United, it will be a golden opportunity for Bengaluru to get back in the mix.
With four matches remaining, Bengaluru need to win all their remaining games if they are to have any chance of progressing to the semi-finals.
The former champions have a few key players missing for the game on Friday. “Ashique and Roshan are not available, Rohit and Jayesh as well who are injured. In terms of long-term injuries, King, Amay, Harmanpreet are still missing. We have some players who are still suffering after the COVID situation,” said Pezzaiuoli ahead of the game. (PTI)
