Mumbai City FC will be taking on Chennaiyin FC in a crucial Group C encounter of the Kalinga Super Cup 2024 on Sunday (January 21).
The Islanders currently occupy the top spot in the group with six points in two matches, followed by their Saturday opponents, who have four points in two matches. The Marina Machans will have to get all three points to have any chance of qualification in the tournament.

Mumbai City have won both their matches, but both of them have been hard-fought ones. They have required stoppage-time winners in both of these matches and will be aiming to fare better against the Chennai outfit. Ayush Chhikara scored a brace in the last match and looks certain to start. In the midfield, we may see Alberto Noguera and Franklin Nazareth pairing up to orchestrate the proceedings.
Owen Coyle's Chennaiyin stumbled in the first match with a 1-1 stalemate against Punjab FC, but a convincing 2-0 victory over Gokulam Kerala keeps them in the hunt. The likes of Connor Shields and Irfan Yadwad have been their beam of hopes and the duo will play a crucial part on Sunday as well.
The match between Mumbai City vs Chennaiyin FC in the Super Cup will be on Sunday (January 21). The Super Cup match between Mumbai City and Chennaiyin FC will start at 7:30 pm IST on Saturday.
The match will take place at the Kalinga Stadium Main Pitch in Bhubaneswar.
