For Mumbai City, the 2018-19 edition of the Indian Super League was a defining moment in their life in the league. The side went on a nine match winning spree to make it into the qualifiers for only the second time, going on a winning run which saw the side finally unlock their true potential.
And as the side begin their campaign in the newest edition of the league, their players will be looking to use last season a building block and further strengthen their bid for the prestigious title. This is a side which has incorporated within it some worldclass players, names who know just what it takes to succeed on the biggest stage of them all and will be looking to emulate their enterprising display from the bygone campaign.
What saw Mumbai City thrive so blatantly was the attacking brand of football the side doled out, one which saw them engage viewers in an engrossing and exhilarating brand of football. And by adding the services of Serge Kevyn and Amine Chermiti to their squad, the side have been given a major thrust, further bolstering an already worldclass attack which will be looking to make things jittery for Kerala Blasters come today.
“We studied the team but it was the first game of the season. It was not a wonderful game, but it was very good. I watched KBFC for the first time but it was not a surprise. I knew the players, I know the coach,” Mumbai City’s coach Costa said when discussing how his side were going to approach the match.
Elsewhere, Kerala Blasters have already played the one match in the league till now, a fixture which swung their way after a topsy-turvy affair saw them wipe out a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1.

MCFC vs KBFC Dream11 Goal-Keeper
With Mumbai massively relying on their attacking gameplan to build out an illustrious framework of success for them and flamboyantly looking to hammer down Kerala Blasters with a barrage of attacking plays, we are going to go with Bilal Khan in this slot. The Kerala Blasters goal-keeper is going to have his hands full infront of an onslaught of shots, one which should see him get in some good save points today.
MCFC vs KBFC Dream11 Defenders
Given the way this match is set to transpire and transcend on us today with the attacking side of both the outfits thriving fruitfully, a cleansheet looks to be a far from realistic proposition. It sees us limit our side to the bare minimum of three picks in this slot, opting for only the more attackingly inclined defenders, names who’ll be asked to gallop up the park for their side.
This sees us get in Jairo Rodrigues and Jessel Carneiro from Kerala Blasters while form Mumbai City we are opting for Mato Grgic for today’s fixture.
MCFC vs KBFC Dream11 Midfielders
We begin by getting in Sergio Cidoncha from Kerala Blasters first after he ended up getting an assist in the previous encounter with Sahal Abdul Samad coming in as well for us from the side.

MCFC vs KBFC Dream11 Strikers
The two goals by him the previous encounter saw Bartholomew Ogbeche rescue his side from a death, taking them to the full three points meanwhile to make the striker an instant pick for us. It was the brand of football he played which relay nudged us his way, playing fearlessly as he left the opposition’s defence in tatters with his acumen and knowhow of the game.
From Mumbai meanwhile we are going to pick out the two players in form of Serge Kevyn and Modou Sougou, two names who will be looking to catapult and entrap the Blasters in a conundrum by forming a daunting partnership in unison.
