Islanders Target First Victory as Sporting Club Delhi Visit Mumbai

Injury-Hit Mumbai Return To The Mumbai Football Arena After Three Away Fixtures, With Both Sides Looking To Turn Early Promise Into PointsMumbai: Mumbai City FC will bank on home comforts to put behind a stuttering start to their MG Indian Super League campaign when the Mumbai Football Arena hosts Sporting Club Delhi, in an early kick-off on Sunday.

Manolo Márquez’s side are still searching for their first win of the League, having collected two points from their opening three matches. Conversely, Sporting Club Delhi enter the fixture fresh from a 1-1 draw against FC Goa, eager to climb up from the lower half of the table.

Mumbai’s recent performances have offered some encouragement. After a 1-2 defeat to Churchill Brothers, they held Punjab FC to a 1-1 draw before keeping a clean sheet in a goalless encounter against Kerala Blasters FC. Márquez believes his side have made progress with each outing, but wants that improvement to translate into results. “Now we need to play at home and show character and show that we want and we can win our first game this season,” the Spaniard said.
