Bengaluru FC travel all the to the capital city New Delhi to face Delhi Dynamos in Match 79 of the Hero Indian Super League, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.

After a very poor beginning, Dynamos has now begun collecting points, with draws if not wins. In the previous 3 matches, Josep Gombau's side first clinched a victory from Kerala Blasters and then drew games with FC Goa and NorthEast United, both teams in the Top-4. Playing without pressure has proved to be a crucial factor in Delhi's recent outings. This would again be at hand against Bengaluru FC. Delhi Dynamos are 9th on the points table with 12 points from 15 games.

Bengaluru FC's fortunes too have changed during the final phase of the league. The three defeats to Mumbai City, NorthEast United, and Chennaiyin FC has been a hit to the team's strong position in the league. The only point gathered by BFC after the winter break is from the draw against Kerala Blasters. A single win can seal Bengaluru FC's playoff spot, which they would be aiming to do soon. At present, Bengaluru FC remains at the top of the table with 31 points from 15 games but is sensing danger from FC Goa only 3 points behind them.

Delhi Dynamos vs Bengaluru FC: Key Players

Delhi Dynamos

Marcos Tebar will be the midfield general for Delhi Dynamos. Tebar has been playing a vital role in linking up the defence with the forward line. The Spanish player scored a goal against NorthEast United and has two other assists to his name this season. A passing accuracy of 80% maintained through the season will help in overcoming Bengaluru's midfield tussle.

Bengaluru FC

Sunil Chhetri will be the go-to-man once again for the table toppers. It is seen that a lot of Bengaluru's successful attacks are centred around this man and with Miku taking time to find the rhythm on the pitch, Chhetri will be key against Dynamos. Keeping this man under pocket would be the success mantra for Delhi on Sunday.


Delhi Dynamos vs Bengaluru FC: Predictions

Indian Super League has been witnessing a number of upsets over the past few weeks. With BFC's 'not-so-best' run continuing, there are chances of another upset. However, Carles Cuadrat wouldn't go for a gamble, seeing Dynamos' recent form and is sure to field the best XI, who might bring another victory for the table-toppers.

Predicted Score - Delhi Dynamos 1:2 Bengaluru FC
