Bengaluru FC is a team inform and is currently at the top of the points table of the Indian super league with 33 points. The advantage for Bengaluru FC is their familiarity to the National Stadium of Male’ as well as the fact the team has been playing competitive matches in the Indian Super League. The Star play of the team without a doubt is the well know Indian National team forward Sunil Chetri leading the attack line, along with the Venezuelan international Striker Miku supported by Spanish winger Edu Garcia. TC sports club have to remain very focused on their defense even though they are playing at home if they are to ensure they don't conceded any away goals.
