In a must-win encounter, Mumbai and Chennai will be facing each other to test out their play-off qualification chances. A little mistake and the losing side will be seen bidding goodbye to their last chance of qualifying for the play-offs. In a worst-case scenario, if the teams draw the match, they will be opening a slight window for Odisha to qualify.
Mumbai and Chennai are placed on the 4th and 5th spot of the points table, respectively. Things looked difficult for Chennaiyin FC a few weeks back as they found it hard to get to the winning ways. However, they jumped back in the game with a bang while it has been an average season for Mumbai. Talking about the last 5 matches, Chennai has won 4 of their last games while Mumbai managed to grab just 3.
The two-time champions, Chennaiyin FC, will be the obvious favourites walking in the field while Mumbai will be looking forward to retaining their 4th spot and get through the play-offs.
