Mumbai City FC take on Chennaiyin FC in an Indian Super League encounter at the Mumbai Football Arena on Thursday, 19 February, 2026.
Both teams are eager to start the new season with a win. Under Petr Kratky, Mumbai City usually loves to keep the ball and tire out the opposition with quick passes.

Look for Brandon Fernandes to pull the strings in midfield, trying to find Lallianzuala Chhangte and Vikram Partap Singh on the wings, while Chennaiyin will look to counter-press with experienced heads like Alberto Noguera (who formerly played for Mumbai), Chennaiyin might look to disrupt Mumbai's rhythm and use the physical strength of Daniel Chima Chukwu to catch the Islanders on the break.
Mumbai City FC (4-3-3): Phurba Lachenpa (GK); Akash Mishra, Mehtab Singh, Tiri, Hmingthanmawia; Joni Kauko, Brandon Fernandes, Yoëll van Nieff; Lallianzuala Chhangte, Jorge Pereyra Diaz, Vikram Partap Singh.
