Punjab FC vs Mumbai City FC: PFC vs MCFC Dream11 team prediction fantasy football tips for today's ISL match - March 2, 2024

Punjab FC and Mumbai City FC will clash in the first match of Saturday's doubleheader at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.

The Shers beat Hyderabad FC 2-0 in their last outing, and despite the tough opposition, Luka Majcen's side will back themselves to deliver a solid performance in front of their home crowd.

Even though they're placed 10th on the points table, a win here could take Punjab up to seventh place, and they're firmly in the hunt for the sixth and final playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Mumbai City FC's winning run was brought to a halt following a 1-1 draw at home to FC Goa. While the Islanders are still well-placed in the battle for the ISL shield, they'll want to ensure they don't drop any more points in their chase of Odisha FC and Mohun Bagan SG.

Punjab FC vs Mumbai City FC: Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

Mumbai City FC will start as the favorites, and your Dream11 team selection should reflect that fact, with a minimum of six players from their team a must. However, Punjab FC's attacking players have lots of scope, with this likely to be a high-scoring affair.

Luka Majcen and Madih Talal are two of the best Dream11 picks for this match, and with Jorge Diaz unlikely to feature, Iker Guarrotxena and Vikram Pratap Singh will take center stage for Mumbai City, with Bipin Singh also a quality Dream 11 option.
