Mumbai
Mumbai City FC will look to secure their third consecutive victory when they face Punjab FC in a crucial Indian Super League (ISL) match today. The Islanders, currently in ninth place with 10 points, are aiming to move above Punjab FC, who sit in fifth place with 12 points from seven games.
A win for Mumbai would push them into the top six, reigniting their playoff hopes. While the season is still young, the match is a vital opportunity for both teams to strengthen their positions. Mumbai has been consistent in its playing style, focusing on building pressure through quick passing, with an average of 329.9 successful passes per game, the highest in the league.
Mumbai City FC won both their meetings with Punjab last season, but Punjab FC has been tough defensively, allowing the fewest touches (102) inside their box. However, they have suffered two consecutive losses, and a third would mark their longest losing streak in the competition. Both teams will be keen to correct mistakes from their recent performances, with a victory playing a pivotal role in their push for a top-six finish.
