Goa: League leaders Mumbai City FC will face Jamshedpur FC on Monday. The Highlanders has won four out of their last four matches and aiming to hold that supremacy. Jamshedpur on the other hand wants to give a shocker to the league leaders.
Mumbai has been playing some good football. They have shown how to win games out of nowhere. The last match against Chennaiyin FC was kind of similar as they beat them from a goal down.

They have shown their character under Sergio Lobera. He has been making the team a team to watch for this season. They have been tipped as out and out favorites and might just pan out that way.
In the pre-match press conference, Lobera said, “It’s going to be a difficult game against Jamshedpur. It will be similar to the last game against Chennaiyin FC. They are very competitive. They are good with and without the ball. When they have the chance, they can score. We need to balance our offence and defence because this is important for the game against Jamshedpur.”
Jamshedpur FC was disappointed after their 0-0 draw against a 10-man SC East Bengal in their last match, so they want to prove their point as they have players like Nerijus Valskis who can change the game in a moment.
Owen Coyle has been managing his side differently. The team has been gaining confidence and now they have been shaping themselves up match by match.
In the pre-match press conference, Coyle said, “It’s a fantastic game to look forward to. They have some fantastic players and a terrific coach. They have spent a lot of money to bring in the players that they require and that enhances the league. They have been in good form. All we have to do is go out and play like we played against ATK Mohun Bagan.”
