Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's LIVE Coverage of the AFC Cup 2018 Interzone Semi-Final Leg tie between Indian Super League side Bengaluru FC and Turkmen side Altyn Asyr.

The Ashgabat based side cruised to a 2-3 win over Bengaluru FC in the first leg at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru and have a firm advantage going into the second leg.

Bengaluru Head Coach, Carles Cuadrat hinted at some possible changes in the Starting Line Up as the Blues were shambolic in the first half of the previous game. They conceded three quick goals leaving a huge task cut out in the second half. However, Bengaluru did pick some rythm in the second half and pulled two goals back.

Altymyrat Annadurdyyew and Wahyt Orazsahedow will continue to remain as a threat to the Bengaluru based side. The duo found themselves on the scoreboard in the previous game too over Bengaluru.

Harmanjyoti Singh despite travelling to Ashgabat is doubtful to play given his own illness.
