Mohun Bagan Super Giant FC vs Bengaluru FC: MBSG vs BFC Dream11 team prediction fantasy football tips for today's ISL match - September 27, 2023

Mohun Bagan Super Giant FC host Bengaluru FC in the first fixture of Matchweek 2 of the Hero Indian Super League on Wednesday (September 27) at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.

These two sides have been on different trajectories since their last meeting in the ISL 22-23 final. MBSG built on that success with an excellent Durand Cup campaign and look like one of the best sides in the ISL after a very productive transfer window. They comfortably won their opening fixture of the season against Punjab FC, winning 3-1.

On the contrary, Bengaluru look much like the shaky side that struggled to find the right shape and tactical identity at the start of last season. They lost 2-1 at the Kerala Blasters in their ISL curtain raiser this campaign, and for large parts of the game, they played like a team without a tactical identity.

Anirudh Thapa will be available to make his MBSG debut, but Sunil Chhetri and Rohit Danu of Bengaluru are on Asian Games duty.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant FC vs Bengaluru FC: Dream11 fantasy suggestions

On paper, MBSG should walk away with the points comfortably, but Bengaluru are a team that usually turn up for big games. Moreover, Simon Grayson is well-known for setting teams up to pick up points even in tough games like this one.

Subhashish Bose, Sahal Abdul Samad, Javi Hernandez and Dimitri Petratos are the players who feel like must-haves. There are plenty of options to choose from in this game, especially in defence, with both teams likely to play a three-man backline, with the wingbacks possessing plenty of points potential, too.

Jason Cummings, Dimitri Petratos, Curtis Main and Subhashish Bose are the options I would consider for captaincy.
