Bipin-Chhangte Versus Jerry-Nandha: Comparing ISL’s Best Wing Pairs
Bhubaneswar
Mumbai City FC have been a class apart in the Indian Super League (ISL) this season, and very few teams have been able to match up with the Islanders.
Des Buckingham's side is yet to lose a match and has been scoring for fun. They have netted 32 times this season which is eight more than the second-best team in this metric, Hyderabad FC (24).
But when it comes to the style of play, one other team has a slightly similar way of operating. Odisha FC, much like Mumbai City FC, is primarily dependent on wide areas to create chances. Although the formation and personnel differ, their biggest threat comes from the wide areas of the pitch.
Numbers back it up as Bipin Singh and Lalianzuala Chhangte of Mumbai City FC and Jerry Mawihmingthanga and Nandhakumar Sekar of Odisha FC find themselves in the top ten for goal contributions by Indian players this season.
As Odisha FC get set to host Mumbai City FC, these two wing pairs will get a chance to lock horns and gain the upper hand over the other.
