Chennaiyin Yet to Break Mumbai City’s Winning Streak Since 2020

As the fixtures got announced, the uncertainty regarding ISL at last was a relief. After the departure of the City football group from the project of Mumbai City FC, all of a sudden, everybody thought it might be a headache for Mumbai. But they pulled some good signings, as they signed Portuguese defender and former Mohun Bagan player Nuno Reis to add more strength in their defence, followed by Tiri’s departure.

Also, they secured the transfer of Joni Kauko, the veteran midfielder, who was a reliable midfielder for Mohun Bagan and Inter Kashi FC. Following the previous records, Mumbai City are set to host Southern Blues to make the unbeaten 12-win record a 13-match win.

Although with the new leadership under Clifford Miranda, Chennaiyin FC will be set to take charge against Mumbai at their home. Alberto Nogueras’s signing has delighted the supporters. The club seemed to lack confidence in the Super Cup, as the uncertainty occurred, they managed to sign a good sort of players, including 4 major foreign signings.

They are going with 6 foreigners this season, as Alberto Nogueras will be the main man for Mariana Machans. Also, they have Mohammad Nawaz in the goal, who secured them. Mandar Rao Dessai and Pritam Kotal give the team more confidence to pull things off.
