Fridays offering from the Indian Super League is an intriguing encounter between East Bengal vs Mumbai City. It’s a clash between top vs bottom with the sides separated by nine places and eleven points. Mumbai’s lead at the top is only one point and by the time they kick off there is every chance Mumbai will have been dislodged from the top spot, East Bengal could be cut further adrift at the bottom, so a win for both is essential in order to keep tabs with those teams at the top and bottom.

Match Result

The form of both of these teams couldn’t be more different. East Bengal have gone a stunning 16 matches without victory which dates back to last season. They are the only side in this years competition who are yet to register a win. Mumbai City despite sitting at the top of the league do head into this match with a few questions to answer as they have lost two of their last three matches with a draw sandwiched in between. They will want to get back to winning ways to maintain their lead at the top of the table. Mumbai’s odds to win won’t be the strongest but to back them in the handicap at -1 goals could present some value. They have won three of their last four by a margin of two or more goals which would make this bet type a winner.

Over 2.5 goals

When it comes to backing the over 2.5 goals, this is a bet that we like and will be backing. Perhaps unsurprisingly East Bengal have one of the worst defensive records in the league and have conceded a joint league high 19 goals. When it comes to being involved in games with over 2.5 goals, East Bengal have surprisingly seen the 2.5 goal barrier surpassed in just one of their last five league matches. For Mumbai City it’s a completely different story as the leaders have seen the 2.5 goal barrier exceeded in four of their last five matches. We think that despite the contrast between the two we believe that over 2.5 goals will take place. The sides have met three times in the past and the mark has been exceeded in two of these contests, we will be hoping the feat happens for a third time here.

Both teams to score

Both teams have been involved in a lot of recent games where both teams have found the back of the net. East Bengal have seen both teams score in four of their last five league matches, whilst Mumbai City have seen both teams score in three of their last five across all competitions. Only once in the last three contests between the teams have both teams scored, but in a league where the goals are flying in we think both teams will find the back of the net in this match.
