Starting XIs:

The Chhetri factor

Since the ISL 2023-24 season, BFC talisman Sunil Chhetri hals scored four goals from the spot, and he is currently tied with Diego Mauricio.

Moreover, 57% of his seven goals since last season have come from penalties, the highest among all players in the ISL to have scored at least two goals.

We are minutes away from kick-off and it seems skipper Sunil Chhetri is in the 'mood' tonight. The former India captain would look to be on the scoring sheet against The Mariners.
