Delhi Dynamos FC host Mumbai City FC in Hero Indian Super League (2017-18) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday. Albeit a bit too late, the Lions have had a resurgence, staying unbeaten in their last four fixtures while winning two of those, including a 4 – 3 thriller against ATK last time out. With two more games to play, they will want to continue their strong run and finish the season on a high. Meanwhile, the Islanders also have two games left to play and need victories in both to stand a chance of making the playoffs. They head into the contest on the back of successive victories and know that nothing less than a win would do in a tricky away fixture.

HEAD TO HEAD

Delhi Dynamos FC 3 – 1 Mumbai City FC (3 Draws)

KEY PLAYERS

Seityasen Singh (Delhi Dynamos FC)

The 25-year-old winger has been a useful player on the flanks for the Lions. He has shown great speed and technique with the ball and has always kept defenders on their toes. A player who loves surging into the box in search of goals, Seityasen was particularly impressive in his display against ATK in his team’s last match, bagging a goal and an assist. The Dynamos will be hoping he can carry his form into the encounter against Mumbai.

Achille Emana (Mumbai City FC)

The Cameroonian is a powerful presence in the Islanders’ midfield. A strong player who is pacey as well, Emana’s runs down the middle give Mumbai a lot of edge in attack. He likes taking on opposition keepers as well and is a clinical finisher besides also being an incisive passer. Emana has three goals and four assists to his name this season and will look to inspire his team to another win.
