Mumbai FC host Mohun Bagan AC in the round 9 of the I-League on Wednesday, February 15 evening. Mumbai FC returns to Cooperage Stadium after a poor run of form which saw them losing six matches on the trot.
Meanwhile, visitors Mohun Bagan, who are currently second on the table, will look to make the most of the game against Mumbai FC tomorrow after a goalless draw in the Kolkata derby, Mohun Bagan will look to get back to winning ways.
“The match versus Mumbai FC will not be an easy one, it will be tough, but we will try to win it,” said Mohun Bagan manager Sanjoy Sen.
“We don’t believe what has happened in the past. It is a new season, and with some new additions, we are looking for a win,” Sen added.
The Mohun Bagan coach sounded confident about a positive result in tomorrow’s match and stated that the so-called “smaller teams” will definitely improve and tomorrow’s game will be no different in the way they approach a difficult match.
Mumbai FC, who were narrowly beaten by Aizwal FC in their last match at the Cooperage, are expecting a tough battle against Mohun Bagan.
“We are in a very bad phase. It happens when we have limitations in budget and players, and we want to achieve something extraordinary,” said Mumbai FC coach Santosh Kashyap on the side’s aim this season.
Captain Steven Dias will not be available for Mumbai FC’s match against Mohun Bagan as coach Santosh Kashyap looks to overcome his worst spell as a manager.
Kashyap maintained, “Away games are tough and I believe in playing attacking football, and in that, we lost the matches. At home, we have an advantage and we will try to take the full advantage — try to win all three matches.”
“We will try to finish in the top-3 and that has not changed,” Kashyap expressed. “We have ten matches remaining from now on till the end of the season, and we will definitely try to achieve our target.”
It will be a feisty affair when the two teams face each other at the Cooperage Stadium tomorrow as both sides will have plenty to prove. Mohun Bagan will look to close the three-point gap on leaders East Bengal, whereas Mumbai FC will try to make the most of their home advantage.
The match is scheduled at 7pm and it’ll be aired live on TEN 2.
