AFC Cup semi-final: Bengaluru FC Vs Johor Darul Ta'zim - Preview, team news, line-ups

Bengaluru, Oct 18: Bengaluru FC are on the cusp of creating history in Indian football as they take on Johor Darul Ta'zim in the AFC Cup semi-final second leg at the Shree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru.

The Indian side has their one foot in the finals as they have an away goal advantage. They had held Johor for a 1-1 draw at Malaysia last month.
