Defending champions Mumbai City FC have started to look like the unstoppable force from the past seasons under Petr Kratky since the ISL 2023-24 restart. They have gone unbeaten for six straight outings and are well-positioned to challenge for the league shied.
However, the Islanders will have an incredible task when they clash with NorthEast United FC in the ongoing match week at the Mumbai Football Arena on Tuesday (March 12). Although the Highlanders have dropped eight points out of a possible 12 in their previous four encounters, NEUFC have shown they do pack a punch.
"We could have taken a better result in the last game, but our performance was not bad and that is the most important thing. Our objective is very clear. It's to try to perform and try to do new things every day," NEUFC head coach Juan Pedro Benali mentioned in the pre-match press conference.
