Matchday 5 of the Indian Super League (ISL) will see the in-form Mumbai City FC taking on Chennaiyin FC at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim, Goa.
Mumbai City FC are the current league leaders in the ISL 2020-21 after winning three matches on the trot. The Islanders have racked up three clean sheets in a row and have conceded just one goal in four matches. Head coach Sergio Lobera seems to have found the right balance in his squad after the loss against NorthEast United FC.
Mumbai City FC have one of the strongest attacking units. The presence of Adam le Fondre, Bartholomew Ogbeche, Ahmed Jahouh, Rowllin Borges, Raynier Fernandes, and Hugo Boumous makes them a dangerous team. They will aim to carry on their blistering form against Chennaiyin FC as well.
Chennaiyin FC have got off to a rocky start in their ISL 2020-21 campaign with one win, one loss, and a draw in their three matches so far. Head coach Csaba Laszlo will hope his side is able to pull its socks up when it takes the field against Mumbai.
Chennaiyin FC have suffered a setback with their midfield maestro Anirudh Thapa getting injured in the game against Bengaluru FC. The Marina Machans will aim to put it behind and take the challenge against Mumbai City FC heads on.
