It’s a clash that will decide who wins the regular season title as leaders Mumbai City play second-placed Mohun Bagan. This is the Indian Super League last match of the season and will be played at the Salt Lake Stadium on Monday. The hosts are second in the standings with 45 points, while the leaders, Mumbai, are at the at the top with 47 points. If Mohun Bagan wins here, they will win the title, and Mumbai will finish second. Mohun Bagan can’t risk a loss because, if Goa wins their last match, the Mariners will drop to third due to the head-to-head goal difference. A draw will be enough for Mumbai to retain their top spot, while they are already guaranteed to finish in the top two. The incentive for finishing in the top two is that the two teams will qualify directly for the semi-finals of the playoffs. Mohun Bagan warmed up for this match with a 4-0 thrashing of Bengaluru, and they have won five of their last six matches. Their last match at this venue, though, was a loss, as Mohun Bagan lost 3-2 to Chennaiyin.

Mumbai are on a nine-game unbeaten run in this competition, winning eight and drawing one. That sequence saw them win five in a row, including a 2-1 win over Odisha last time. They retain the best defensive record of the campaign, with only 17 goals conceded. That hasn’t reduced their emphasis going forward, as their tally of 41 goals is the second-best in the division behind their opponents of the day. Their dominance at both ends of the pitch was evident on the road, where Mumbai have won their last five away league games comfortably. Four of those wins were accompanied by a clean sheet, while they scored 11 goals in the last four of those wins.
