Mumbai City FC travels to Jamshedpur with a chance to close the gap at the top of the Indian Super League 2019. Bengaluru FC’s dropping points off late has given the Islanders a real chance to replace them at first place in the league. Their opponents Jamshedpur have ambitions of a top four finish and needs to get all three points at home in order to stay relevant in the race. Mumbai City FC coach Jorge Costa started with the pre-game mind games by stating the pressure would be on the home side and Jamshedpur will surely have something to say about it in the game. Jamshedpur FC vs Mumbai City FC - Live Football Score.

Jamshedpur FC will be without Tim Cahill once again as the veteran striker has still not recovered from his finger injury. Sumeet Passi who has enjoyed some game time in his absence will once again lead the hosts attack. Sergio Cidoncha has been their chief creator with a floating role just behind the striker. Mario Arques and Memo will be trusted with the task of sitting back and protecting the backline. They rarely venture forward but can play those long balls at the feet of Sergio Cidoncha and co.

Modou Sougou is not likely to feature for Mumbai City FC as he continues to remain sidelined due to fitness issues. The Senegalese international has scored nine goals for Mumbai FC and his absence is a big blow. Rafael Bastos needs to step up in the absence of Sougou and the Brazilian winger is more than capable of performing when his team needs him. The defence depends too much on veteran Indian defender Anwar Ali who is not blessed with the pace he once had. Jamshedpur FC should get their much needed three points despite Mumbai being such a formidable team. Their team looks much more balanced compared to their opponents and have more to offer going forward.
