Mumbai City FC will look to climb up the table when they face bottom-placed NorthEast United in the 2021-22 Indian Super League 2021-22 season at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa.

Des Buckingham's men are fifth in the league standings with 17 points, having won five games, drawn two, and lost four. However, they are on a five-match winless streak, the latest of which was a disappointing 3-0 loss at the hands of Bengaluru FC. The Islanders are hoping to find some form again, and a victory tonight would propel them to fourth place in the ISL table.

NorthEast United, on the other hand, have struggled throughout the ISL 2021-22 season. Khalid Jamil and co. have seen their season get progressively worse as they come into the clash against Mumbai City FC on the back of five successive defeats. Having to regularly field a depleted squad of late has not helped their cause either.

Finishes that dazzle. 🤩

Here are 2️⃣ pin-point strikes from Igor Angulo and @strika09. 😍
