All eyes might be on Greg Stewart, who might be dealing with his former membership on this encounter. The Scottish striker led the Red Miners to the highest of the league final season with 10 objectives and 10 assists in 21 matches final season. Stewart has gotten off the mark and has a few assists to his title this season.

After scoring late in opposition to Jamshedpur within the earlier recreation, Bipin Singh equalised Amodou Sougou’s tally of 15 objectives for the membership. The 27-year-old might be desperate to get on the scoresheet to turn into Mumbai City FC’s all-time main goalscorer within the Hero ISL.

“We have gone out from the start to win games. Tomorrow we will go out from kickoff to try and win the game, and if that takes till the 94th minute, so be it. But we have to make sure we start the game as well as we can and then manage it throughout to come away with the result we want,” stated Mumbai head coach Des Buckingham.

Spectators thought Jamshedpur FC have been off to the right begin this season once they went 2-0 up after simply ten minutes. But final yr’s league winners let their guard down within the recreation’s remaining minutes and have been left and not using a level when the ultimate whistle blew.

After shedding Stewart to the Islanders, the goal-scoring onus might be on Daniel Chukwu. The Nigerian striker has already scored this season and is three objectives away from going previous Stewart’s tally of 10 and turning into Jamshedpur FC’s main goalscorer in Hero ISL historical past.

“When you get a result as we did, where you do really well and end up losing 3-2 in the last minute, it’s the worst because what you want to do next is play a game straight away,” stated Jamshedpur head coach Aidy Boothroyd.

“During the ten-day layoff, we sulked a little bit, licked our wounds, and then we used the time purposefully by doing a few sessions focusing on certain aspects. We have been really fidgety to play our next fixture. We just want to get going and get into the rhythm.”
