The Islanders have gone four games without a win since their opening clash of the season.

Ahead of his side’s next game against ATK, Mumbai City FC head coach Jorge Costa interacted with the media in a pre-match press conference. Both sides face-off on the evening of 30th November, on the back of draws, with ATK playing out a goalless stalemate against Josep Gombau's Odisha FC in their previous game. On the other hand, Mumbai City saw their game against NorthEast United FC end in a 2-2 draw. Asked about the challenges of facing ATK, Jorge Costa admitted that the Kolkata-based club are one of the best sides in the Indian Super League this year, but is confident that Mumbai City can take home the three points. "One of the best teams in India. They are performing really well. So, we are awaiting a difficult encounter. But then, I know what to do and we know that we can go back home with the three points. It is possible," he said. [KH_ADWORDS type="3" align="center"][/KH_ADWORDS]

Mumbai's Defence Facing ATK's Attack

The Islanders have conceded ten goals in their last three league games, giving away four each against Odisha FC and FC Goa, before conceding two to NorthEast. The side's opponents on Saturday, ATK, have scored a total of ten goals this campaign, recording the joint-best tally in the league. But, Jorge Costa is not fazed by the Kolkata outfit's attack and is confident that his team have what it takes to stop the hosts. "We are making some mistakes (in defence) that we cannot. Will try to fix, we are working on this, but this is something that we can fix. As a team, we are doing well, but then during the game, we are making some individual mistakes. It is one thing that cost us some points. But anyway, we have time to fix, we have time to win points, we have time to move to the position we want to finish," Jorge Costa explained. "I think that my team can stop ATK. I think that my team, with eleven players, they can stop and win against ATK tomorrow," he asserted.

I am very happy that we signed it and this will be wonderful for us, Mumbai City and also for ISL. I think they can bring a lot of things to help us. First, for Mumbai City and then ISL to be better," the Portuguese quipped.
