Where To Watch Mohun Bagan vs Bengaluru FC In the ISL Final For Free?
The 2024-25 season of the Indian Super League culminates with two teams — Mohun Bagan Super Giant and Bengaluru FC. On April 12th, the Salt Lake stadium will host two rivals who have consistently engaged in intense battles for the ultimate prize.
For Bagan, this represents the chance to achieve something they or anyone else has never accomplished — winning the ISL League Shield and Cup double, having been thwarted by Mumbai City last year. For BFC, this is an opportunity to claim their second-ever ISL Cup, having last succeeded in 2018-19 under Carles Cuadrat.
It is poised to be a tactical showdown between Jose Molina and Gerard Zaragoza, promising to be an exhilarating contest. Mohun Bagan have averaged close to two goals per game this season, scoring 50 goals over 26 games, while Bengaluru FC is not far behind with 48 goals from 27 games this season. The significant distinction between the two teams is that Bagan have only allowed 18 goals this season, while BFC have conceded 33. It stands to reason, therefore, that Bagan will adopt a more conservative approach to maintain solidity – after all, their overly aggressive strategy led to their defeat in last year’s final after initially taking the lead.
The defensive setups for both teams are fairly clear — Vishal Kaith and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu in goal are given (and should it go to penalties like in 2022/23, Bagan would hold the advantage). Molina will deploy Asish Rai at right-back, Tom Aldred and Alberto Rodriguez at the center-back position, and Subhasish Bose at left-back. Dippendu Biswas or possibly Ashique Kuruniyan could feature unexpectedly in the full-back positions, but Molina is not likely to disrupt a successful combination.
As for BFC, Zaragoza is almost certain to field the first-ever all-Indian backline in an ISL final, with Namgyal Bhutia at right-back, Chinglensana Singh and Rahul Bheke in central defense, and Naorem Roshan Singh at left-back. The midfield and attack might hold the key to this final’s outcome. The roles of Pedro Capo at the base, accompanied by Suresh Singh and Alberto Noguera in support across the diamond, appear straightforward, yet the capacity for one of their forwards to move in and out of that diamond adds an element of unpredictability to BFC’s forward structure.
To address this issue, we might observe Molina choosing a midfield duo of Deepak Tangri and Apuia, with Anirudh Thapa being replaced, as they are significantly more likely to maintain their shape without Thapa, who tends to pursue the man or ball more actively. This is how Bagan could potentially commence the final, since Molina is more willing to take chances in the last part of the game with his attacking substitutions.
Moving forward, it’s straightforward for Bagan, who lack a definitive style of play. Jamie MacLaren and Jason Cummings may both take the field from the start, which would require Indian wingers. Ashique Kuruniyan brings a lot of danger with his direct runs, but considering this is a final, Molina may prefer a more reliable pairing in Colaco and Manvir Singh. Unlike Bagan’s unpredictable style, BFC has forwards functioning within a structured system, with Jorge Pereyra Diaz and Mendez being versatile options for the center-forward position, or even drifting out wide.
