It is time for the first Maharashtra Derby in the Indian Super League with FC Pune City boys travelling to Mumbai to take on the struggling home side. A solitary point on board for Mumbai City FC does not make a good reading especially with the poor showing they had last season as well. Pune play their second game of the competition tonight having drawn their opening encounter against the Delhi Dynamos. Both the sides have a lot at stake as a win can create momentum which is very important in the league. Here are all details such as Mumbai City FC vs FC Pune City live streaming online, live match telecast on TV channels and football score updates. Mumbai City FC vs FC Pune City - Live Football Score, Match 12 - Summary.

Pune City have some of the best players in attacking position with the likes of Marcelinho and Emiliano Alfaro who scored 17 of the 31 goals Pune City scored last season. They combine with deadly effect coupled with sharp finishing that makes them the players to watch out for. Diego Carlos is another asset who is deployed on the wings to exert pressure on the opposition defence. The return of Marcelinho will be a huge lift for Miguel Angel’s Pune after he was suspended for the opening game.

The Mumbai City FC have a lot of issues in every area with the team not clicking as a whole. Striker Rafael Bastos has not been able to lived up to the expectation so far on the two games. The Brazilian is one of the star names in the Indian Super League and along with Senegal’s Modou Sougou is expected to lead the home side’s attack this season. In defence, Souvik Gosh will be entrusted to stop the Pune attacks. Anwar Ali is another veteran of Indian football, and hence there is no dearth of experience in the backline.

Mumbai City have underperformed in every season of the ISL so far, and the fans would have been edgy, to say the least looking at the start to the current edition. Jorge Costa will have to stamp his authority on the league soon and start delivering after a pretty successful preseason had many calling Mumbai as one of the potential champions.
