Bengaluru FC vs Mumbai City FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

Both teams will take contrasting approaches to this game, with Mumbai City desperate to overturn the lead, while the hosts will be happy to concede possession and sit back in their solid defensive shape. It's not going to be easy to score, but you get the feeling that if Mumbai City get an early goal and level the tie, this game could open up.

Despite BFC's excellent form and home advantage, I'm backing MCFC to get the job done here, purely because of their never-say-die attitude and the quality in their ranks.

The Dream11 suggestions for this game are similar to the ones in the first leg, with Mehtab Singh, Sandesh Jhingan, Lallianzuala Chhangte, Bipin Singh, Javi Hernandez and Greg Stewart the players I feel are must-haves.

Greg Stewart, Chhangte and Javi Hernandez would be my first-choice captaincy picks.
