Mumbai City FC take on Odisha FC in a mid-table clash for matchday six of the Indian Super League on Sunday. These two sides haven’t yet lived up to the billing this season and are languishing in the ninth and seventh positions, respectively. Let’s get into the prediction for this match between the Islanders and the Juggernauts!

Mumbai City’s tactics of playing out from the back haven’t quite worked this season, with goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa having to resort to his customary long balls. This is one of the reasons why the hosts have managed just a single win in their first four matches, despite finishing as runners-up last year.

They were finally able to get their first win of the campaign in a 2-1 away victory over FC Goa last weekend.

Odisha, now under manager Sergio Lobera for the second consecutive season, have consistently faltered in defense. The result is a team that is allowing 1.80 goals per match so far in the campaign, the fourth highest mark in the ISL.

However, they were able to edge East Bengal 2-1 at home in their last appearance, which should give them the confidence to challenge Petr Kratky’s Islanders on Sunday. Odisha have managed to win just two of their first five games, a disappointing start for a team that finished fourth last season.
