Mumbai FC desperate for a win

Mumbai FC will be keen to break their 10-game winless run when they face East Bengal in a rescheduled I-League Round 16 tie at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Wednesday.

The Mumbai outfit with their last win coming against Pune FC in December sit 11th in the table with 20 points. They will be desperate for a win as they'll look to move out of the relegation zone.

This won't come easy as seventh placed East Bengal (27 points) come into the game after thrashing Rangdajied United 3-1 at the Salt Lake Stadium.

However, Mumbai FC can take motivation from the fact the last time both teams met, it was them who triumphed 3-2 in Pune in December.

The hosts will be banking heavily on the attacking duo of South Sudanese striker Jame Moga (7 goals) and Nigerian veteran Chidi Edeh (5 goals). Amongst them, they have contributed twelve out of East Bengal's 24 goals this season and will prove a challenge to the backline led by Anwar Ali and Sandesh Jhingan.
