Mumbai City FC have made a solid start to the 2026 ISL season — they are unbeaten in their first four games (two wins and two draws). However, they face a tricky test away from home on Sunday, when they lock horns with Antonio Lopez Habas’s defensively astute Inter Kashi at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.

Inter Kashi were promoted after winning the I-League last season, and have already shown they can go toe to toe with well-established clubs, particularly thanks to their robust defensive tactics, which has seen them concede just thrice in four games (despite being down to 10 men in one of them). Nevertheless, The Islanders’s coach Petr Kratky insists his team can penetrate their backline.
