BENGALURU: Bengaluru FC have been the standout team in the Indian Super League this season. If their attack found goals at crucial junctures, their defence has been right up there, conceding just four goals to help them stay at the top of the table with 16 points. Even though the Blues suffered a 0-3 loss to FC Goa on Saturday, they are upbeat about their next fixture against an in-form NorthEast United FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Friday.
In fact, their defence has not been breached even once (in four matches) at home with senior players Rahul Bheke and goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who is one away from collecting a record 50 clean sheets in the competition, bringing their experience into play. The duo will have to be on their toes against a team, which is not short on confidence either.
