Match Result

With just a few games left to go of the season the top 4 race is starting to take shape. Mumbai City find themselves on the periphery, two points off current 4th place occupants Kerala Blasters. The fixture computer has arguably handed them a dream tie as they host bottom side East Bengal in the search for three crucial points. East Bengal have only returned one point from the last possible fifteen and have had a torrid time this season. For Mumbai, champions from last year, it would be an exceptionally disappointing season if they were to not even make the playoffs. We have to side with Mumbai here, although their home form has been average at best, East Bengal have picked up just six points on the road all year and they will have another tough ask ahead of them here away at the home of the defending champions.

Over 2.5 goals

Both sides have been involved in a lot of recent games where we have seen a lot of goals. Two of the four head to head matches between the pair have seen over 2.5 goals. Outside of the head to head Mumbai have seen over 2.5 goals in two of their last five, whilst East Bengal have seen over 2.5 goals in four of their last five. Mumbai are the third highest scorers at home whilst East Bengal have the third worst away defensive record. We think this has the makings of an intriguing contest and will side with both teams to find a way of this one finishing with over 2.5 goals.

Both teams to score

In the recent head to head matches between the teams both teams have found the back of the net in just one of the last four occasions. Clean sheets have been hard to find for both teams, with Mumbai having kept just one in their last five and East Bengal keeping just one in their last seven. With both teams struggling at the back, the sensible play has to be on both teams finding the back of the net.
