Mumbai City FC will look to extend their three-match unbeaten run when they take on FC Pune City at the Mumbai Football Arena in Mumbai on Thursday. Mumbai have gone ahead in the race for the semis and are currently one of the front-runners with 15 points from nine matches. With 1-0 wins over Atlético de Kolkata and NorthEast United FC and a draw against defending champions Chennaiyin FC, they have indeed struck some serious form. The return of Bengaluru FC players, especially Sunil Chhetri, is an added boost for them heading into the match. Pune City too have experienced a mini-resurgence of their own with a 2-1 victory over Kolkata in their last match. With the standings being pretty close at the moment, a win for the Stallions can push them back into contention for a spot in the semis. The second Maharashtra derby of the season thus promises to be an exciting affair with pride as well as points at stake.
