Chennaiyin FC will host Mumbai City FC in match No. 83 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda. The Islanders got the better of Marina Machans when the two sides last met. Mumbai edged past Chennai courtesy of a goal from defender Rahul Bheke.
Bozidar Bandovic's side have been inconsistent defensively in recent matches. They were praised for their defense early on in the campaign.
The Islanders have had their share of problems as well. They have not played to their full potential since the defeat to Kerala Blasters FC. Des Buckingham has been provided with a few new signings to help the team get back on track.
This will be the first time Lallianzuala Chhangte faces his former team in the ISL.
