Bengaluru FC kicked off their I-League campaign with three wins in a row. After that, they lost back-to-back matches against East Bengal and Churchill Brothers before suffering a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Al Wehdat of Jordan in Amman in their AFC Champions League qualifying round preliminary stage 2 tie.
Albert Roca's players no doubt are a bit low in their confidence and they need to quickly come out of this slump.
"The attitude was good and it was there for all to see and if we carry on like this, we should put behind the minor hiccups we have suffered."
He added, "DSK Shivajians are a good team and they showed it in the game against Mohun Bagan. Even in their last game against Aizawl FC, they conceded in the final minute to go down 1-0. We will be stepping on the pitch on Sunday knowing we cannot afford any more slip-ups and I'm confident the team will rise to the occasion."
