ISL 2018-19: When and where to watch FC Pune City take on Bengaluru FC

FC Pune City are languishing in the ninth spot on the table while Bengaluru sit at the sixth spot

In search of their first win, FC Pune City Monday face a formidable Bengaluru FC in an Indian Super League (ISL) clash here.

The Stallions are languishing in the ninth spot on the table after picking up just a solitary point from their first two away games.

A win against Bengaluru, which they desperately need, will not just be Pune's first of the season, but also their maiden victory over the opposition to whom they lost during last edition's play-offs.

Bengaluru FC had a smashing debut campaign in the league last season but their start under new coach Carles Cuadrat has not been entirely convincing. While Bengaluru did notch an impressive victory over defending champions Chennaiyin FC in their campaign opener, they were held at home by Jamshedpur FC.

The Spanish coach will expect his key attackers Emiliano Alfaro and Marcelinho to provide the spark in the clash against last season's runner-up. A lack of goals has been Pune's undoing in the current campaign with two games yielding only one. They have had 21 attempts on goal but remain the most wasteful among all 10 teams with a conversion rate of only 4.76 percent.

Cuadrat has at his disposal one of the most lethal pairings in the league in the form of Miku and Sunil Chhetri. Both men have already registered a goal each in the new campaign and they will be licking their lips in anticipation in what will be a clash against their 'favourite' opposition.

In the four matches against Pune last season, the duo scored a combined seven goals which is the most against a single opponent.

Pune City FC and Bengaluru FC have played each other four times with Sunil Chhetri-led outfit coming out on top twice while the other two matches ended in draws.
