ISL 2024-25: Punjab FC, Mumbai City Eye Season Turnaround In Capital
Indian Super League: Punjab FC will host Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Thursday with both teams hoping for a turnaround in their fortunes. Punjab FC will look to complete their first league double over the Islanders, while Mumbai City FC will aim to extend their unbeaten away streak and reclaim defensive strength after recent setbacks.
Punjab FC, currently struggling with form, have lost their last two home games in the league, including a 0-1 defeat to Kerala Blasters FC on January 5. Another loss will mark their longest home losing streak in ISL history, and failing to score will see them go goalless in back-to-back home games for the first time.
Meanwhile, Mumbai City FC come into this fixture unbeaten in their last five away games (W3 D2), including back-to-back wins on the road. However, the Islanders have conceded multiple goals in each of their last three games, leaking eight goals in the process, which is a defensive fragility they will aim to address.
