Mumbai City FC vs Chennaiyin FC: MCFC vs CFC Dream11 Team Prediction Fantasy Football Tips for Today's ISL Match - December 24, 2022

Mumbai City FC (MCFC) will square off against Chennaiyin FC (CFC) in the third game of Matchweek 12 of the Hero Indian Super League 22/23 on Saturday (December 24) at the Mumbai Football Arena.

The reverse fixture saw the Islanders hit six past the Marina Machans in a devastating 6-2 home defeat. Chennaiyin will be desperate to dispel those memories and put up a solid away performance. They drew 1-1 against the Kerala Blasters in their last outing.

Meanwhile, Mumbai City continued their unbeaten run with a 3-0 win at East Bengal last time out. With Hyderabad FC taking back the top spot after their win over Bengaluru FC, Rex Buckingham's side will be keen to take it back.

Mumbai City FC vs Chennaiyin Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

Despite Chennaiyin's unpredictability and ability to surprise their opponents, you'd have to peg Mumbai City as the favorites. When you consider the 6-2 scoreline when the two sides last met, you can be rest assured that this game will contain plenty of goals.

Greg Stewart, Bipin Singh, Jorge Diaz, Ahmed Jahouh, Petar Sliskovic and Akash Sangwan are the players I feel are must-haves from this game. While the presence of Abdenasser El Khayati would've made the captaincy debate more interesting, Greg Stewart, Bipin Singh and Petar Sliskovic would be my first-choice captaincy picks.
