Bengaluru FC will look to continue its winning ways when it takes on NorthEast United FC in an ISL clash at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Sunday.
BFC got off the blocks in style, having recorded an impressive 2-0 win over Sporting Delhi in its opener. The occasion was marked by an injury-time goal from stalwart Sunil Chhetri, who continues to sparkle at the age of 41.
NEUFC, meanwhile, had a forgetful start, going down 0-3 to East Bengal. The visitor could manage only two shots on target, and the backline was consistently troubled.
However, BFC head coach Renedy Singh warned against taking the visitor lightly. The last time the two sides met here, NEUFC managed to hold BFC to a 2-2 draw in what was an action-filled encounter.
“They will come at us with full force. We need to be ready to fight,” Renedy said.
