Head Coach Renedy Singh: The floodlights at Sree Kanteerava Stadium are prepared to illuminate this Friday as former champions Bengaluru FC host Punjab FC in an important match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season.

The visiting 'Shers' come for their second straight away game, aiming to recover after a close 1-0 defeat to Jamshedpur FC. Meanwhile, the Blues play their third match of the season, eager to sharpen their finishing after a tough 1-1 draw with NorthEast United. An intense contest is expected, with both teams aiming for victory.

This matchup is characterised by tactical intrigue as both teams incorporate important summer signings. For the home team, Braian Sánchez has rapidly gained popularity among fans, with his midfield vision playing a crucial role in the Blues' offensive setup. In the wider areas, Ashique Kuruniyan's rapid pace continues to be a key weapon, aimed at pushing defenders back. Meanwhile, Sirojiddin Kuziev's technical skill remains a significant and unpredictable factor.
