Mumbai City FC vs SC East Bengal: Who will win today's ISL match?
Mumbai City FC will take on SC East Bengal in Match 98 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda. The previous meeting between the sides earlier this season ended in a goalless draw.
The Islanders will be seeking a win to progress further up the ISL table and get into the top four. Des Buckingham's side suffered a defeat at the hands of Jamshedpur FC in their last match which spoiled their plans temporarily. However, with the quality that they have, a win is expected out of them against the Red and Gold Brigade.
Meanwhile, Marco Rivera's side, who are technically out of the competition, will be playing to spoil their opposition's plans even further.
