Bengaluru FC are sixth in the standings and require a strong finish to break into the top four.

The Blues, who were on an eight-match winless run, parted ways with Carles Cuadrat midway through the season, with Naushad Moosa taking charge of the club.

Bengaluru FC finally returned to winning ways after beating SC East Bengal 2-0 in their last outing. However, Cleiton Silva is doubtful for Tuesday's game due to match fitness issues. While Dimas Delgado has returned to the team hotel and is in quarantine, Ashique Kuruniyan has started training.

Guess who's back, and how! He's spent the best part of two months away from football, but @Ashique_22 returned to the field for light training, wearing a custom-made carbon fiber mask. #WeAreBFC #BFCATKMB pic.twitter.com/Wcwc4bi9fZ

ATK Mohun Bagan have looked like a typical Antonio Habas-managed side throughout the season. While they are resolute at the back, the Kolkata giants are precise upfront. The Mariners allow the opposition to play before hitting them on the counter.

ATK Mohun Bagan will miss the services of Pritam Kotal, who is suspended for the match against Bengaluru FC. Edu Garcia is also unavailable for selection, owing to an earlier injury.
