Bragging rights will be on the line in this Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22 encounter when reigning champions Mumbai City FC host two-time champion Chennaiyin FC on Wednesday. The marquee clash will be played at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, in Fatorda, and is scheduled to kick off at 07:30 PM IST.
Titleholders Mumbai will look to make it four in a row, as the Islanders registered a 4-2 victory in their last match against Jamshedpur FC. Des Buckingham’s side’s dynamic attacking style has allowed them to score 16 goals within five matches, becoming the highest-scoring team. The three-match winning streak also saw the reigning champions cementing their authority over the tournament and occupy the top spot after five games and four wins so far.
However, their skills will be tested to the hilt as the opponents have the tightest defence in the league. The Marina Machans have conceded just two goals, the best record in the league thus far. They head into this high-octane fixture after being held to 1-1 draw against ATK Mohun Bagan last time out. Bozidar Bandovic’s team is yet to lose a match in this season, but that may change if they are not careful, as the defending champions could easily rip apart their defences and hand them their first defeat of the ongoing season.
