Mumbai City FC have currently dropped out of the playoff spots, as they are placed seventh on the table with 24 points from 16 matches, and will aim to enter back into the top-6 with a positive outcome. Mohammedan SC, on the other hand, sit at the bottom with 11 points from 16 games. While the Islanders have struggled in recent home fixtures, Mohammedan SC are unbeaten in their last four outings, making this an important fixture for both teams. Mumbai have consecutive 0-3 defeats at home, marking their first consecutive multi-goal losses at home since 2019. Despite this, the side will look to bounce back and complete their first league double of the season after defeating Mohammedan SC 1-0 in the reverse fixture.
