AFC Champions League: Nassaji Mazandaran vs Mumbai City – Build-up

Mumbai City FC are gearing up for a high-stake showdown in the AFC Champions League 2023-24 as they set their sights on Iran for a face-off against FC Nassaji Mazandaran. The last time these titans clashed in Pune’s Balewadi Stadium, it was the Iranians who walked away with the spoils of victory. 

However, the Islanders find themselves in a tough spot, languishing at the bottom of the group standings and facing the challenge without their foreign aces. Adding a twist to the plot, the departure of head coach Des Buckingham to England’s Oxford United has left the team navigating uncharted waters. 

In the AFC Champions League 2023-24, the Iranian squad hasn’t had a smooth ride, tallying three losses with just one triumph, notably against Mumbai City FC in September. The stakes mirror the Islanders’ predicament, with both teams battling uncertainties. 

The Islanders, now bereft after bidding adieu to head coach Des Buckingham, face a daunting challenge against Nassaji. Tasked with a strategic shift, the team places its faith in Indian players, with no foreign aces in tow. 

Having conceded 13 goals in the competition, the goal drought adds to their woes. Nassaji’s previous 2-0 victory over the Islanders in the AFC Champions League opener looms large. Mumbai City, now navigating uncharted territory, seek redemption.
