The season is still fairly new and the Indian Super League table has to be read with caution. So far Mumbai City find themselves in 3rd position and Chennaiyin are placed 6th.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Indian Super League match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Odisha FC, was also a home game here at GMC Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Mumbai City form and stats
The hosts won their first Indian Super League game here at GMC Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Mumbai City last season were 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses from 9 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Mumbai City, as their goalkeeper Amrinder Singh has completely shut out the opponents for 221 minutes in the Indian Super League.
Mumbai City's previous game was a Indian Super League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Odisha FC (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against East Bengal.
Mumbai City has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Chennaiyin form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Indian Super League travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
Chennaiyin are looking to quickly end their 244 minutes long goal drought in the Indian Super League.
Chennaiyin might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bengaluru proved too strong as Chennaiyin slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Kerala Blasters.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Chennaiyin manager C. László as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against NorthEast United.
It's early days yet, but Chennaiyin has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Mumbai City wins - draws - Chennaiyin wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine had two or less.Top Goalscorers
