The Islanders, meanwhile, won two, drew one, and lost one of their four group stage games before defeating Chennaiyin FC FC 5-3 in the quarter-finals.

Addressing reporters on the eve of the match, Mumbai head coach Des Buckingham said that the team will continue to have the same approach to the game and will look to continue getting better with every game. He stated:

"Our approach remains the same regardless of which team we play. Our aim is to try and get better every game and try to continue improving on what we do with and without the ball.
"I said before the last game, we have done as much as we can and put ourselves in a strong position to approach firstly the Durand Cup and secondly the ISL season in a strong position."
