Mumbai City FC will travel to face Mohun Bagan Super Giant on Saturday, May 4. Both teams are currently out of the relegation zone and are aiming to finish the season as high as possible in the Indian Super League table.
In their last meeting in the Indian Super League, Mohun Bagan defeated Mumbai City 2-1 at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium in April. Liston Colaco scored first for Mohun Bagan in the 28th minute, followed by Jason Cummings. Lallianzuala Chhangte scored for Mumbai City in the 89th minute.
Cummings and Dimitri Petratos have been standout performers for Mohun Bagan this season. Cummings is the team’s top scorer with 11 goals, tied for the third-highest in the league in 2023/2024. Petratos has scored 10 goals, including four opening goals in matches.
In their last six league matches, Mohun Bagan have won four and lost two. Mumbai City, on the other hand, have won five and lost one in their last six matches.
This is a tough call. Both teams are evenly matched, and the outcome could hinge on a few key moments. However, with home advantage and the recent win over MCFC, Mohun Bagan has a slight edge. Their passionate home crowd could be the deciding factor. However, Mumbai City’s attacking prowess cannot be ignored.
Final Verdict: Mohun Bagan has a 55% chance of winning, with Mumbai City trailing at 45%.

The Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK), also known as the Salt Lake Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Salt Lake City, Kolkata. It was established on 25th January 1984. The current seating capacity is 68,000 spectators, but prior to renovations in 2011, it accommodated 120,000. Before the construction of Rungrado May Day Stadium in 1989, it held the title of the world’s largest football stadium.
The stadium’s record attendance was in 1997 when 134,000 spectators witnessed the Federation Cup semifinal between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. The field size is 105 m × 68 m, and the surface transitioned back to natural grass from artificial turf in preparation for hosting the U-17 World Cup.
It serves as the home ground for various football clubs, including Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, and Mohammedan. The stadium hosted the final match of the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, along with other tournament matches.
Named after Swami Vivekananda, the stadium is operated by the Department of Youth Services & Sports, Government of West Bengal. At one point, it held the fifth-largest seating capacity among sports stadiums in Asia.
The Indian Super League (ISL) is the men’s highest level of the Indian football league system. It was founded on 21 October 2013 with the aim of growing the sport of football in India and increasing its exposure in the country. The league is co-promoted by Reliance, Star India, and supported by the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
The ISL began play in October 2014 with eight teams. During its first three seasons, the competition operated without official recognition from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which is the governing body for the sport in Asia. It was structured along the same lines as the Indian Premier League, the country’s premier Twenty20 franchise-based cricket competition. Each season lasted just three months, from October to December, and matches were held daily.
However, before the 2017–18 season, the league expanded to ten teams, extended its schedule to six months, and earned recognition from the AFC. The season runs from September to March and includes a 22-round regular season followed by playoffs involving the top six teams, culminating with the ISL Final to determine the champions. At the end of the regular season, the team with the most points is declared the premiers and presented with the League Winners’ Shield.
Currently, the league comprises 12 clubs. ISL clubs gain qualification to the Asian continental club competitions; regular-season premiers qualify directly for the subsequent season’s AFC Cup group stage. The league has received unmatched visibility in a short span of time and is speculated to be one of the top-tier leagues in India after the I-League.
