Indian Super League action heats up on Saturday as Chennaiyin FC faces off against Mumbai City. Currently, the Marina Machans sit in fifth place, while The Islanders are in seventh, setting the stage for an intriguing matchup.
Chennaiyin has played five of their seven games away from home this season, securing one win and one draw in their two home matches. Their only loss came against Mohammedan, which remains the only victory for Mohammedan so far this season. This leaves Chennaiyin with some work to do at home, where they had a solid record of 6 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses last season, including a 0-2 defeat to Mumbai.
Mumbai City narrowly missed out on the league title last season, finishing just one point behind. They won 14 of their 22 matches, but their current record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses indicates they need to improve quickly if they want to be contenders this year. They recently secured a victory against FC Goa, a team that held Chennaiyin to a draw earlier in the season, highlighting the competitive nature of these two teams. With plenty of goals typically scored in Mumbai’s matches this season, fans can expect an exciting contest.
