Mumbai City FC and Mohun Bagan SG - two teams oozing with class, two coaches with unparalleled tactical acumen, and two clubs with a winning pedigree - will lock horns on the final matchday with the ISL 2023-24 League Shield on the line.
With a slim lead of two points on the summit, the Islanders will step into the Mariners' beloved frontier, the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, on Monday, April 15. Mohun Bagan fans have rediscovered their devotion to the club after the much-awaited rechristening that took place during their ISL title celebrations last season. The supporters have flocked the stadiums in numbers throughout the 2023-24 season, but expect the emotions to reach a crescendo today.
Even with the enviable quality at their disposal that has helped the club navigate through a topsy-turvy period, the defending champions are slated to face the daunting challenge of overcoming Antonio Lopez Habas' revolutionized Bagan. All the Petr Kratky-coached outfit requires is just a point to defend the League Shield, while the impetus is on the Green and Maroon Brigade to secure the three points.
If we get down to the specifics, Mumbai City sit on 47 points from 21 outings while Mohun Bagan have 45 points from 21 games. Referring to historical records, Mumbai have been unbeaten in their previous eight matches against the Mariners, having won six times and drawn twice in these games.
