ISL: Resurgent BFC look to cut gap on table-toppers

A chance to close the gap on leaders Hyderabad FC will motivate Bengaluru FC when the two teams square off in an Indian Super League (ISL) match here on Friday.

Bengaluru are on a nine-game unbeaten run, having turned around a poor start to the season in some style as they are placed third with 23 points from 15 matches.

A win against leaders Hyderabad will see them go level on points with their southern rivals, and that should keep Marco Pezzaouli’s charges on their toes.
