A frustrated Drago Mamic believes Abahani Limited are not favourites to win the tie at Kanteerava following the absence of two foreign players.
Bangladesh Premier League champions Abahani Limited are set to face JSW-owned outfit Bengaluru FC in their third fixture of the AFC Cup 2017. The Sky Blue Brigade sit at the bottom of their group with two successive defeats from as many matches while the defending I-League champions are on top with two wins against Kolkata heavyweights Mohun Bagan and Maldivian side Maziya S&RC.
The Dhaka side lost to the Mariners in their previous fixture which saw Jeje Lalpekhlua, Balwant Singh and Sony Norde score for the Maroon and Green brigade whereas Jonathan Brown netted the lone goal for his side in a 3-1 result at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, Kolkata.
