Beaten 1-2 in their away match when they fielded non-regular players, Bengaluru FC will look to turn the tables in their AFC Cup second-leg play-off tie against Maziya S&R of Maldives here on Wednesday. Head coach Carles Cuadrat fielded a few players from the academy in the away fixture in Male on February 19 but he will look to go all out in front of home supporters at the 'fortress' Kanteerava Stadium on Wednesday.

'The Blues' will be confident going into the match as they came back with an away goal from Male and their talismanic captain is also set to return after a short injury lay-off. Most of the first team players will have a fresh pair of legs as Cuadrat also rested a good number of regular starters in their last Indian Super League game against ATK, a 1-1 drawn affair, on Saturday. A win is a must for Bengaluru FC, whereas a draw will allow Maziya to progress to the next stage of the AFC Cup. The Blues need to win 1-0 or by a two-goal margin to progress further.
