Struggling East Bengal will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Mumbai City in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- East Bengal has the most conceded goals in the second half (13) in Indian Super League

It's quite the trip for Mumbai City when visiting East Bengal as the cities are 2000 kilometers apart.
