Bengaluru vs Mohun Bagan prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 27, 2025
One of the matches of the 19th round of the Indian Super League will take place on Monday in Kolkata, where the local Mohun Bagan will host Bengaluru. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
The "Mariners" finished first in the regular season of last year's Indian Super League, edging out Mumbai City by just one point. In the playoff semifinals, they faced Odisha and, despite losing the first leg, advanced by winning 2-0 at home. However, in the playoff final, the Mariners couldn't handle Mumbai City, losing 1-3 and missing out on the championship title.
This season, the team is determined to retain the top spot and has been performing confidently. After 17 rounds, Mohun Bagan has accumulated 37 points, sitting in first place in the standings, four points ahead of Goa. In the last round, the team played out a 0-0 draw away against Chennai, marking their second consecutive draw.
Bengaluru, on the other hand, is also having a strong season. After 17 matches, they sit in third place in the Indian Super League standings with 28 points. They are five points behind second-placed Goa. However, recent setbacks have hurt their campaign—three losses and one draw in their last four games.
In their most recent match, Bengaluru hosted Odisha and lost 2-3. Notably, Bengaluru scored first in that game, even leading 2-0. However, after receiving a red card in the 26th minute, they conceded twice before halftime and allowed the decisive goal in the 50th minute.
