Aizawl: A confident Bengaluru Football Club side will look to take full points once again as they face I-League debutantes Aizawl FC in their second clash of the 2015-16 campaign, at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, in Aizawl, on Saturday. Ashley Westwood’s Blues side, riding high on a 2-1 opening day win over Salgaocar FC, will be without midfielder Joshua Walker, who missed the game against Salgaocar and is yet to recover from a knee injury.<\/p>\n
There will be considerable support for the Blues as four of the squad’s five Mizoram natives have traveled with the squad. Coming up against a new side, Westwood said there was no room for complacency.<\/p>\n
“Like most times tomorrow’s game will be a combination of our style and the strategy we adopt depending on our opponents. We’ve seen just one game of Aizawl and I can tell you that they definitely deserved a draw if not more against Bagan,” said Westwood.<\/p>\n
On being asked whether he can guarantee a win – “There are no guarantees in football but what I can assure you is that every player who pulls on a BFC shirt represents the club and me and will give nothing short of 100 percent,” Westwood replied.<\/p>\n
Skipper Sunil Chhetri scored a sublime winner off a free-kick to give Bengaluru three points in a 2-1 opening day win over Salgaocar FC, after CK Vineeth’s opener had been canceled out by a Darryl Duffy penalty at the Tilak Stadium in Goa.<\/p>\n
Aizawl FC, on the other hand, went down 3-1 against defending champions Mohun Bagan at the Barasat Stadium, in Kolkata, in their first ever I-League fixture last Saturday and the Manuel Retamero Fraile-coached side will be looking to make an impression against the Blues.<\/p>\n
The city of Aizawl is buzzing with a historic first home clash in the I-League beckoning and Fraile said it would not be just the team who will be in action tomorrow.<\/p>\n
“The boys played their heart out against (Mohun) Bagan and we showed our true potential. But tomorrow, it won’t be just the eleven players in action; Mizoram will be there. The players know that they are representing not only the city of Aizawl, but Mizoram as a whole,” said Fraile.<\/p>\n
Kick off at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is at 1 pm.<\/p>\n
