Mohun Bagan vs Mumbai City Predictions

An entertaining season opener can be expected at Salt Lake Stadium.

I'm putting my money on over 2.5 goals in Kolkata.

Mohun Bagan have seen over 2.5 goals in 12 of their last 15 matches
Mohun Bagan have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 home matches (ISL)
Mohun Bagan have seen over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches against Mumbai City
Mumbai City have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 matches
Mumbai City have seen over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 away matches (ISL)

Head to Head

Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City will meet for the 11th time on Friday. Mumbai have dominated the fixture in years gone by, claiming seven wins while losing just once.

Mumbai also claimed a 3-1 win in their most recent encounter in last season's ISL Trophy final.

Mohun Bagan Form

Mohun Bagan face their first ISL fixture of the season after a decent performance at the recently contested Durand Cup. Under the guidance of newly appointed Spanish manager José Molina, the Mariners reached the final, where they suffered a heartbreaking loss to NorthEast United in a penalty shootout.

Typically involved in high-scoring contests, Mohun saw at least three goals scored in eight of their last ten ISL matches since March.

At Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners have seen an average of 3.6 goals scored across their last ten fixtures.

Mohun Bagan Team News

Mohun Bagan boss Molina has a strong squad available for Mohun Bagan's first ISL fixture of the season. Recently acquired forward Jamie Maclaren is expected to feature in a three-pronged Australian attack alongside compatriots Jason Cummings and Dimitros Petratos.

Mumbai City Form

Mumbai City return to ISL action after a disastrous performance at the Durand Cup. The ISL Trophy winners were eliminated in the first phase after losing all three group fixtures, including a humiliating 8-0 defeat against Kerala Blasters.

Petr Krátký's side finished last season in fine form, scoring ten wins while losing only one of their last 13 ISL fixtures.

Like the hosts, goals can usually be expected when the Mariners are in action. An average of 3.4 goals were scored in their ten most recent ISL encounters.

Mumbai City Team News

Mumbai boss Krátký could hand ISL debuts to Spanish midfielder Jon Toral and Greek forward Nikolaos Karelis.

Ayush Chhikara remains a long-term injury absentee.

Verdict

Mohun Bagan v Mumbai City

Goals should be on the cards as the ISL returns to Kolkata this weekend.

Over 2.5 goals is my only choice at Salt Lake Stadium.
