Calcutta/Bangalore: Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC will look to raise the bar a few notches when they lock horns in a I-League clash in Bangalore on Saturday.
Having drawn their respective last games, both coaches - Sanjay Sen and Albert Roca - know the importance of a win at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium.
"It's going to be a tough game as Bagan are fighting for the League and will be looking to get three points against us. We must be aggressive in our approach to make sure that we make a match out of this," said Roca at the pre-match press conference.
Mohun Bagan will be without defender Prabir Das and goalkeeper Debjit Majumder, who will miss out because of injury. But Sen said he was confident his squad would step up.
"We've never relied on a single player so these injuries do not worry us. Bengaluru's graph this season may not be the best, but they are a team that can beat anyone on any given day," he said.
Top scorer for Mohun Bagan, Scottish striker Darryl Duffy makes a return to the squad after missing his side's 2-2 draw against Mumbai FC earlier this week.
