However, two things must have been playing some tricks in the former Serbian central defender's mind. First how to stop the league's 2nd best offensive team and second is to devise a plan to score goals against the league's best defensive team. PROBABLE XI Kaith (GK), Sahil, Gurtej, Rafa Lopez, Sarthak, Tebar, Adil, Diego Carlos, Marcelinho, Ashique, Alfaro BFC: Under Albert Roca, Bengaluru FC are playing perhaps the best football in the past two months or so. We have the stats to back that up- The two-times I-League Champions are ruthless in front of the goals in the last eight games, averaging 2.25 goals per match. They are also on a 12 game unbeaten streak in all competitions. PROBABLE XI Gurpreet (GK), Bose, Juanan, Johnson, Bheke, Dimas, Lenny, Victor, Chhetri, Miku, Udanta Competition History- FC Pune City- 0 Titles BFC- 0 Titles Head 2 Head- 2 meetings in official matches BFC- 1 win FC Pune City- 0 win Key Players: FCPC – Marcelinho, Emiliano BFC- Miku, Sunil Chhetri Some key stats: FC Pune City finished the league on 4th with nine wins, three draws and six losses in the campaign, 3rd placed FC Goa have the same record but finished above Pune because of a better head to head record.
