### Form Guide: Polar Opposites

These two teams arrive in completely different headspaces.

**Mohammedan SC** haven’t won in 14 matches — a run that tells its own painful story. Their last five results include a 3–1 loss to Kerala Blasters, a draw with SC Delhi, and a defeat to Inter Kashi. They’ve scored just 4 goals across that stretch and have conceded the most penalties in the ISL this season (5). Coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo will need a tactical masterstroke to turn things around on home soil.

**Mumbai City FC**, meanwhile, are one of the form teams in the [Indian Super League](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Super_League) — ranked 2nd away from home this season, boasting the most clean sheets in the competition (5), and carrying a xG of 3.44 against Mohammedan’s 0.92. Their last five includes wins over Odisha FC, but also back-to-back losses to East Bengal and FC Goa — suggesting a slight wobble that Mohammedan must exploit.
