ISL 2023-24: Mumbai City FC vs NorthEast United FC – Build-up

After a tough outing against Jamshedpur FC last week, Mumbai City FC will lock horns against a low on confidence NorthEast United FC in the city of dreams come Tuesday evening with both sides hoping to get back to winning ways.

The Islanders will go up against the Highlanders in a must win contest. The last time these two teams came against each other was back in September 2023 as Mumbai City FC wrapped up a hard fought 1-2 win in Guwahati.

The Islanders are eyeing the league shield and have done a pretty good job until now. Despite Des Buckingham leaving the side midway through the season, the defending league shield winners have done extremely well under their new head coach. They are currently placed second on the table and are level on points with table toppers Mohun Bagan which makes the game against NorthEast United a must win contest. 

The Highlanders on the other hand find themselves in deep trouble having dropped crucial points in their last two games. Their top six aspirations took a big hit after a disappointing draw against Hyderabad was followed by 0-1 defeat to Punjab FC at home last week.

The stakes are very high for Juan Pedro Benali coming into this game because they just cannot afford to drop more points having dropped 15 points already from winning positions this season.

Iker Guarrotxena and Ayush Chhikara are ruled out for the remainder of the season for Mumbai CIty FC while NorthEast United FC are expected to miss the services of Tomi Juric and Hamza Regragui.
