Mohamed Larbi is the man that makes them tick in the final third but needs the likes od Modou Sougou to be more consistent. Raynier Fernandes in midfield is a livewire, and if he is afforded space, Bengaluru can be put under massive pressure. One of the positives of this campaign for Mumbai has been the Subhashish Bose in the full-back position, and he remains a threat for the visitors. Mumbai City FC Vs Bengaluru FC - Live Football Score.
