After a 2-0 victory over Odisha FC in their previous game, Mumbai City FC will host last season's Shield winners Jamshedpur FC at the Mumbai Football Arena on Saturday, October 22.
The Islanders previously played out a hard-fought 3-3 draw against defending champions Hyderabad FC in their opening game.
However, they soon registered their first win of the season at the cost of Odisha FC and will be keen to extend their unbeaten streak.
Jamshedpur, meanwhile, had a shocker on their own turf when they hosted Odisha in their opening game. Despite scoring two early goals, Aidy Boothroyd's side were on the receiving end of a late comeback that saw them lose the game by a 3-2 margin.
The Red Miners have had a 10-day break between the two games and we'll have to wait to see how they have utilized their time.
