Punjab FC have only played once this season and were underwhelming in a 1-0 defeat to Jamshedpur away from home. They arrive at the Kanteerava needing to shake off the rust fast — but history at this venue hasn’t been kind to them.

On the road, Punjab have won just once in their last nine ISL away trips — a worrying trend heading into a hostile Bengaluru atmosphere. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_Tank_India_season_5)
