This league campaign has been strenuous for East Bengal up to now, while Mumbai City have won many games. Will the away side claim three points at Tilak Maidan Stadium?
- East Bengal is in the worst form (0-4-2)
- Mumbai City have the most scored goals (22) in Indian Super League
These teams have little in common geographically as Mumbai City have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Bengal nor Mumbai City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Mumbai City form and stats

Two away games in a row for Mumbai, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-4 versus Odisha FC in the Indian Super League.
