East Bengal FC vs Mumbai City FC:  EBFC vs MCFC Dream11 Team Prediction Fantasy Football Tips for Today's ISL Match - December 16, 2022

East Bengal FC takes on Mumbai City FC in the second game of Matchday 11 of the 2022-23 Hero Indian Super League on Friday, December 16, at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.

East Bengal's topsy-turvy run of form continued as they fell 2-0 to Hyderabad FC in their previous encounter. They are eighth in the points table, with three wins in nine games, and will look to stun one of the favorites in front of their home fans.

Meanwhile, a well-rested Mumbai City FC will look to extend their goal glut in their first match after their 4-1 demolition of FC Goa at the start of the month. They can regain the top spot on the points table from Hyderabad FC with a win here.

East Bengal FC vs Mumbai City FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

Mumbai City FC should start this game as the favorites despite East Bengal FC having the home advantage. My forward line remains the same for both suggestions as I'm expecting plenty of goals from this fixture.

Cleiton Silva, Greg Stewart, Jorge Diaz, Bipin Singh, Ahmed Jahouh, Naorem Mahesh Singh, and Rostyn Griffiths are the players I feel are must-haves, and make both suggestions.

Lallianzuala Chhangte and East Bengal's Haokip could be decent differentials. As for the captaincy picks, penalty-taker Cleiton Silva is a solid pick from the East Bengal side. Greg Stewart, Bipin Singh, and Jorge Diaz are exciting options to select from Mumbai City FC.
