Predicted Lineups

Mumbai City FC Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1):

Phurba Lachenpa (GK); Valpuia, Sahil Panwar, Mehtab Singh, Noufal; Vikram Pratap Singh, Hitesh Sharma, Brandon Fernandes; Lallianzuala Chhangte, Nikos Karelis, Jorge Ortiz

Players to Watch

Lallianzuala Chhangte (Mumbai City FC)

Chhangte is having a decent season as he scored in back-to-back games in the Super Cup and will be confident going into the upcoming fixture. He took the job of a goal scorer very well in the absence of several key players and is delivering a brilliant performance so far.

It took some time for him and Karelis to understand each other, but now both players seem to have synced up. This season he has played 26 games, in which he scored eight goals and provided three assists so far.

Stephen Eze (Jamshedpur FC)

The Nigerian defender is probably one of the best defenders this season. He is one of the main reasons why the Red Miners have been so solid this season. Due to his tall frame, he is able to help his team in attack as well as in defence. He is the leader in the back and guides and helps his teammates a lot.

Even though he missed the penalty in the last match, he did his defensive work very well, which stopped players from scoring. His partnership with Albino Gomes is also crucial for the Red Miners’ strong defence. Eze is very important for Khalid Jamill’s tactical setup as without him in the back, Jamshedpur crumbles under pressure.
