We don\u2019t want to ask anything special of them, just to push us to win the game. The supporters will bring us to that moment of victory, and I cannot wait. Our supporters believe in us more than we believe in ourselves, and that\u2019s amazing,\u201d said Zaragoza at the pre-match press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Skipper Sunil Chhetri has been the man in form for the Blues with 11 goals and one assist so far this season, while Spanish forward Edgar Mendez has struck form, posting a goal and an assist apiece last time out against Punjab FC. Defensively, Bengaluru FC have been found wanting and will seek to tighten their act.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former Bengaluru man Javi Hernandez has been in a rich vein of form for Jamshedpur, posting seven goals and three assists so far this season, while custodian Albino Gomes leads the tally for most saves made this season with 72. Strikes in the closing stages of games have been a regular occurrence for Khalid Jamil\u2019s side, with two late goals helping them snatch a 2-1 win when the two sides met earlier in the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Skipper Sunil Chhetri has been the man in form for the Blues with 11 goals and one assist so far this season, while Spanish forward Edgar Mendez has struck form, posting a goal and an assist apiece last time out against Punjab FC.
