Last year, Mumbai City, one of the top teams, ended in fifth place, only four points outside the Championship finals. Although the squad’s offence ranks fourth in the league in terms of strength, it is significantly weaker than what is required to be a top team. The team appears to have undergone improvements, and this year’s offensive is considerably more potent.
The odd thing about Odisha at the moment is that after 20 games, they had a goal differential of 31:43, making them one of the weaker teams in the previous season. They feel like a viable contender for Top 4 this season and potentially even for the overall title today, though, after watching how they performed in the Durand Cup.
Prediction
Considering Odisha’s present situation, this game is very challenging to anticipate. The club wasn’t quite as good last year, but at the start of current season, they’ve lost only twice in their previous 10 games across all competitions. They just participated in the Indian Cup final as well. However, Mumbai City is a very good home squad, as they won their three home games this season by scores of 5:3, 5:1, and 4:1.

Mumbai City To Win
Considering Odisha’s present situation, this game is very challenging to anticipate. The club wasn’t quite as good last year, but at the start of current season, they’ve lost only twice in their previous 10 games across all competitions. They just participated in the Indian Cup final as well. However, Mumbai City is a very good home squad, as they won their three home games this season by scores of 5:3, 5:1, and 4:1.
Both Teams To Score – Yes
We’ve already discussed how these two teams compete against one another; often, there are far more than 2 or 3 goals. In Mumbai’s instance, the club earns a lot of points, but their defence is also quite unreliable, and they frequently let up goals. Odisha is in excellent shape to start the season, and we are certain that they will score.
