GAME PREVIEW
Delhi Dynamos have already held FC Goa (0-0) and NorthEast United (1-1), both of whom are chasing a spot in the play-offs, from gaining an advantage in their last two matches and it could be no different when they face Bengaluru FC who have not yet confirmed their top four spot despite currently leading the table.

The capital side have 12 points from 15 games owing to their horrible start of the season but have looked competitive since the league resumed post the winter break. Converting chances has been the capital-based side's weakness this season, although the Lions have managed to address the situation to a certain extent of late while faring well defensively as well.

The Dynamos had a 10-day break since their last fixture, following which Lallianzuala Chhangte traveled to Norway for a short training stint with Viking FK. The left winger is back now and could be available for selection against Bengaluru. Josep Gombau would also be looking at the fitness levels of Bikramjit Singh and Adria Carmona ahead of the tie.

Carles Cuadrat Bengaluru FC ISL 5

Bengaluru FC are, at the moment, at the summit with 31 points from 15 matches. Coach Carles Cuadrat has been testinig his bench strength in the last four of games and their form has been topsy-turvy.

However, it has to be noted that the Blues haven't yet confirmed their spot in the top four and another result such as the 2-1 defeat against Chennaiyin FC in their last outing could invite a some pressure on the players.

There is a possibility that Bengaluru will rotate their team again and Sunil Chhetri may see a place on the bench. While a win is enough to seal a spot in the next round, Cuadrat may also look to preserve his key players for the vital remaining matches against FC Goa and Jamshedpur FC.
