Mumbai City FC are now joint-on top of the ISL points table after recording six points from three matches. ATK Mohun Bagan are also top with six points from two games. East Bengal, on the other hand, remain at the foot of the table with no points after playing two of their fixtures.
After securing their first win of the season, Mumbai City FC will be keen to build on the momentum. The Islanders have dominated possession in both their matches, however, they have struggled to score. They have registered just one goal so far, joint least among teams who have played two matches. The Adam Le Fondre-Hugo Boumous pair will once again be key for Mumbai’s attack. It remains to be seen though if Bartholomew Ogbeche gets his place in the starting XI.
Robbie Fowler’s side also dominated possession in their first game and their former Norwich City winger Anthony Pilkington looked threatening in the midfield. It was lack of finishing prowess with Balwant Singh upfront that proved costly for them. Apart from Pilkington, Matti Steinmann looked strong in passes and held possession for long and even Surchandra Singh and Loken Meetei looked promising. The forward line will need to convert their chances when they clash against the Sergio Lobera-outfit.
