In the fourth round of the Indian Super League, a match between Mumbai City and Bengaluru will take place. The game is scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, with kickoff set for 16:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match is provided by Dailysports experts.
Mumbai City
Mumbai, the reigning champions of India, has had a disappointing start to the new season. So far, the team has played just two matches, but has yet to secure a win.
After a draw in the first round against their main rivals, Mohun Bagan, Mumbai lost to Jamshedpur. The team looks decent in attack, but conceding five goals in two matches, points to defensive issues.
Bengaluru
Bengaluru has surprised many at the start of the new season. After a narrow victory over East Bengal in the first game, their dominant wins over modest Hyderabad was not unexpected.
In their last match, Bengaluru impressed by unexpectedly thrashing Mohun Bagan 3-0 at home. After three rounds, the team sits at the top of the Super League standings.
