There were many people who thought that Mumbai’s league win last season was a fluke but they are showing the same form from last season. They welcome the Kerala Blasters to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Margao for this Matchday 7 encounter in the Indian Super League. The defending champions are at the top of the table with 15 points from their six matches. Kerala have five points but have only played 5 matches. Mumbai suffered a 3-1 loss to Hyderabad in their second match of the season to cast doubts over their ability to defend the title. They have since won three matches in a row to claim 9 points. Their most satisfying win in this period was undoubtedly the 5-1 victory over ATK Mohun Bagan, their main rival from last season.

Kerala have had a poor start to the season and face an uphill task when they face the might of Mumbai. They had a 1-1 draw against East Bengal in their last match. This was their fourth match unbeaten after they lost their opening fixture 4-2 to ATK Mohun Bagan. This unbeaten run is slightly misleading as they have had three draws in those matches. If they win their game in hand they will move to nine points which will be good enough for fourth place. The top four teams qualify for the playoffs at the end of the season.
