In an effort to reclaim their title as table-toppers, Mumbai City will compete on the grand stage of the Indian Super League for the first time in the year 2023. They will face Odisha, who are also eager to maintain their position in the Top 6 of the league standings. Monday’s high-profile Matchday 12 contest will be held at Bhubaneswar’s Kalinga Stadium.
Odisha kicked off their journey to the ninth edition in style by crushing Jamshedpur, the defending Premiership champions, in a high-scoring saga in their opening match. The Juggernauts’ 2022-23 ISL campaign got off to a great start, but they were only able to perform in small bursts throughout. The Chennaiyin team, which is in seventh place, is five points behind the Kalinga Warriors, who are at the bottom of the Top 6.
The first and only team to win twice in India’s top football league has dominated the first half of the 2022-23 ISL season with a blazing pace of goal-scoring. The Islanders’ offensive unit has scored a whopping 32 goals in 11 games, with 26 of those goals coming in their last eight games. Mumbai has knocked off the top spot in the standings by Hyderabad a few days ago, and the Islanders will return to exact their vengeance and reclaim their position.
