Punjab FC and Mumbai City will face off in their final match of the Indian Super League season on Thursday afternoon. The Shers (4th) and the Islanders (5th) are part of the final-day battle for the title, and our prediction is that this will be a nervy, low-scoring match.
After finishing in the bottom half of the league standings in each of the last two seasons, Punjab have been much better this term, losing only two of their 12 games this year (W6 D4).
The Shers secured a 3-2 victory over Odisha on Saturday afternoon, which extended their unbeaten run to five matches (W3 D2). That result came after four consecutive clean sheets.
Punjab have not lost a league game at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium this season (W3 D2). They have only conceded three goals at home - the fewest in the division.
Meanwhile, Mumbai City have the exact same record as their upcoming opponents this season (W6 D4 L2). They have scored 15 goals in 12 games and conceded nine - the second-fewest in the ISL.
The Islanders eased past Mohammedan 4-0 on the road in their last match, which brought an end to their four-match winless run (D2 L2). That marked their biggest win margin of the season.
The visitors have kept clean sheets in their last two away games and have never lost a league match on the road to this opponent.
