The goalkeeping department has Gurpreet Singh Sandhu who kept seven clean sheets last season. In central defence, Juanan Gonzalez will lead the back-line while Rahul Bheke may get the nod ahead of Albert Serran. Two new full-backs in Rino Anto and Nishu are likely to start games this season.

Our Prediction for Bengaluru FC This Indian Super League Season 5

There is no question that the Blues have one of the strongest squads in the ISL. Last season they were the only team to win more than ten league matches. Having kept most of the team intact, there is no shortage of leaders on the field. We bet that Sunil Chhetri led side will eventually win this year’s event.
