Both East Bengal and Mumbai City are desperate for points in this match, even with the visitors carrying a 12 point edge so far.
- East Bengal have the most conceded goals in the second half (13) in Indian Super League
- Mumbai City have the most scored goals (27) 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.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
East Bengal form and stats
East Bengal have played three Indian Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days at Yuba Bharati Krirangan have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for East Bengal as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Mumbai City are travelling after their nice 4-1 home win in the match against Goa (placed 6th). Which player has scored four games in a row for the away team? The answer is Díaz and that is impressive stuff! The attacker Chhangte got a match rating of 8.15 in that game. Chhangte scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.
Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at NorthEast United.Will there be lots of goals? This side have played 5 consecutive league matches all featuring at least three goals scored (over 2.5 goals).
