ISL 2023-24: Mumbai City FC Targets All Three Points Against Shaken NorthEast United FC
Mumbai City FC have been replaced by the Mohun Bagan Super Giant at the top of the standings, with both teams accumulating 36 points each, albeit the Mariners doing so in a game fewer (17) than the Islanders (18). With Odisha FC (35 points from 18 games) and FC Goa (32 points from 17 matches), breathing down their neck, Mumbai City FC has no scope of committing any error anymore. They have been in good form lately, accumulating 11 points out of a possible 15 from their previous five matches.
Against them is a NorthEast United FC unit that has dropped eight points out of a possible 12 in their previous four encounters. They were handed a 1-0 loss by Punjab FC in the last game, but the team is still just a point behind (20) the sixth-placed Jamshedpur FC (21), and has a game in hand (18), as compared to the Red Miners (19). The team has shown that it can pack a punch and has a frontline that punishes the opposition for any defensive mistakes. Hence, the Islanders cannot afford to take the Highlanders lightly by any stretch of the imagination.
