Bengaluru vs Mumbai City Prediction

Despite Bengaluru finishing in third-place, three spots above Mumbai City in sixth position, the two clubs were separated by just two points, so expect a much closer game than perhaps one would expect here. Especially when factoring in the pressure that comes with knockout football. Goa awaits the winner on Wednesday.

Bengaluru finished the campaign slowly, most likely taking their foot off the gas in preparation for this encounter. Their final match saw them beaten by none other than Mumbai City themselves, guaranteeing the latter their passage into the post-season. Expect a significantly different kind of contest this time around with Bengaluru far more locked in.

As you would imagine for a game with so much at stake, goals could well be at a premium regardless of the final. Neither side will want to make a mistake and could set up with defensive playstyles and plenty of bodies behind the ball when out of possession. With that in mind, consider backing under 2.5 goals.

Bengaluru vs Mumbai City Tip: Under 2.5 goals
