Mumbai ready for North East United

Mumbai City FC won their opening round clash against FC Pune City for the first time and tasted a rare away win in the league. The win boosted the confidence of the entire squad and they will now be looking to dethrone the Highlanders from the top.  The visitors are on a high after registering two victories from their first two matches. “We won against a very good team. This is always good because history tells us that Mumbai never won opening match. Also, we didn’t win away and we won the first game against a very tough team. Pune is one of the contender (for the title) this season. That game is now behind us and from the next day we started to focus on our second game. It’s always nice to start with a win. The confidence grows,” said Mumbai City coach Alexandre Guimaraes. NorthEast United are bristling with confidence after pocketing six points from the first two matches at home but coach Nelo Vingada is not taking anything for granted.
