Mumbai City need a point against Bengaluru FC to secure top six spot. The Islanders are winless in their previous four games, drawing and losing twice each. The Blues have faced losses in three of their last four encounters against the Islanders, failing to find the back of the net thrice on the bounce. The last time they went scoreless in consecutive ISL games for only the second time under Petr Kratky was in 2015. With a -3.39 xG differential, Mumbai City FC are one of only three teams with a negative xG value this season. BengaluruFC have netted 40 goals from an expected goals (xG) value of 26.43. Sunil Chhetri (12) and Edgar Mendez (7) have top-scored for them. The substitutes have scored eight goals this season, their highest in a single ISL campaign. This allows them to take the game deep, potentially keeping the Islanders cautioned until the final whistle is blown in the forthcoming fixture.
