Mumbai City FC aim to end four-match win drought in ISL 2025-26 against Mohammedan SC

Mohammedan SC look for its first win in the ISL 2025-26 to end the season on a high/

Mohammedan SC are set to welcome Mumbai City FC to their home in the Indian Super League 2025-26 season on Friday, 15th May, 2026, from 19:30 IST at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata, which promises to be an exciting clash in this current phase of the league.

Both sides will be eager to pull every possible string to put up a good fight against each other

A struggling side of Mohammedan Sporting Club will face a stern test against Mumbai City FC in their crucial fixture after they lost their previous game against Kerala Blasters FC.

Mumbai City FC, who once found themselves top of the table, are now placed seventh on the ISL course with 19 points, just three points behind the top spot occupied by East Bengal. The four-game unbeaten run might have caused them this fate in the ISL after they were the frontrunners to win the title once.

The Stakes

Mumbai City FC

Under the guidance of Peter Kratky, the Blue Army has played some impressive football this season, having been top of the table for a very long time. But the times have changed, as they are currently seventh on the table with 19 points. The last victory they tested was on 5th April, a month before. Mumbai City FC has somehow lost its rhythm recently, but the team’s depth could return, as it has a great bunch of ISL-proven players.

Against Mohammedan SC, this will be there chance to prove themselves after their four-match drought. A win will simply change the diagram of the league, as Mumbai then find themselves somewhere between third, just behind East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.

Mohammedan SC

Mohammedan SC, on the other hand, is still looking for its first win and stability in its ISL 2025-26 season. Talked about their previous season, the financial situation and the dilemma that cost them. Many players boycotted the training session due to some salary issues after the SC Delhi game.

The Black Panthers started a good run of form after they clinched back-to-back three draws in the ISL, but a win is still not feasible for them. Against Kerala in their last game, they lost 3-1 as visitors. Mumbai City FC will be another tough test for Wadoo’s side, but a win will accelerate their season very much.

Player to watch out for

Adison Thokchom Singh ( Mohammedan SC )

Mohammedan SC has Adison Thokchom Singh, who will look to make some trouble in the Islanders’ defence as his inclusion in the side has been very impressive. His positional awareness will be the highlight of his game. Against a club like Mumbai City, Adison may cost their defensive line with his physical strength.  

His ability to score and find the back of the net is a threat; also, he is more of a link-up man up top for Mohammedan SC. He scored the last-minute equaliser over Inter Kashi FC and also scored against Chennaiyin FC in their recent fixtures.

Lallianzuala Chhangte (Mumbai City FC)

The main man for the team’s ability to accelerate the attack for the Islanders. Lallianzuala Chhangte for Mumbai City FC is their heart. His direct approach allows Mumbai City to transition quickly from defence to attack, while his composure in front of the goal adds reliability in the final third. A proper winger by nature, with immense ability to stretch the defence and make runs in the final third, the ability to take the defenders one-on-one, and the pace and decision-making make Chhangte special from others.

Against a defensively vulnerable side like Mohammedan SC, he will be the main threat to their defence. Players like Gaurav Bora and Sajad Hussain will need to create a plan to stop the Indian winger.
