After a comprehensive victory against Odisha FC in their previous game, Mumbai City FC will host last season's shield winners Jamshedpur FC at the Mumbai Football Arena on October 22, Saturday.
The Islanders played out a hard-fought 3-3 draw against defending champions Hyderabad FC in their opening game.
However, they returned with a dominant 2-0 victory against the Juggernauts. Mumbai will be desperate to add to their momentum and extend their unbeaten streak.
Jamshedpur, meanwhile, had a shocker on their own turf when they hosted the Juggernauts in their opening game. Despite scoring two early goals, Aidy Boothroyd's side were on the receiving end of a late comeback that saw his side lose the game 3-2.
The Red Miners have had a 10-day layoff between the two games and we'll have to wait to see how they have utilized the time.
