Unbeaten Mumbai City FC will face strugglers Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Mumbai Football Arena on Thursday, November 17. The hosts are on the back of a huge 6-2 away triumph against Chennaiyin FC, while Bengaluru FC are winless in their previous four games since their opening day victory against NorthEast United FC.
Mumbai's proficiency in front of goal has gone on to another level as the Islanders have already found the back of the net 16 times in six games -- scoring 10 goals in five other matches before they scored six goals past the disjointed Marina Machans. They have also conceded eight goals in the process.
Bengaluru's dry patch in front of goal has been their biggest downfall in the ISL this season. The Blues have the second-best defensive record in the league, but their ultra-defensive tactics do not bring the best out of the likes of Sunil Chhetri and Roy Krishna.
