AFC Cup 2021: When and where to watch Bengaluru FC vs Bashundhara Kings

Bengaluru FC square off against the Bashundhara Kings on Matchday 2 of the AFC Cup 2021 at the Male National Stadium in the Maldives on Saturday.

Bengaluru FC met ISL outfit ATK Mohun Bagan on Matchday 1 of the 2021 AFC Cup on Wednesday. The Mariners defeated the Blues 2-0 courtesy of goals by Roy Krishna and Subhasish Bose, who found the net at the 39th and 46th minutes respectively. With a playoff spot at stake, Sunil Chhetri's side will have to win their remaining two fixtures and hope the other matches go their way.

Meanwhile, the Bashundhara Kings started their campaign on a positive note, having won 2-0 against Maldives club Maziya.

Maziya player Mohamed Irufaan put one in his own net to give the Kings a 1-0 lead in the game. Robinho increased the lead for the Kings in the 40th minute to help his side clinch a 2-0 victory. The Bangladesh-based club will look to extend their winning run and ensure they make it to the playoffs.

A win would strengthen the Bashundhara Kings' chances of progressing to the next stage. Bengaluru FC, on the other hand, are playing a must-win game as a loss would see them crash out of the event.
