While history may be on the side of Mumbai City— three wins to Jamshedpur's one, with one draw—past performance isn't always a correct gauge of future results.
Home advantage for Jamshedpur at the JRD Tata Sports Complex and perhaps some momentum from the opening day win may just see them cause an upset against a fancied Mumbai City side. Still, for those betting, this is a risky bet in view of Mumbai's overall better record these last seasons.
Taking a punt on Jamshedpur for this tie is a risk, but one that could very well pay off.

Both Jamshedpur and Mumbai City proved that they can attack in their opening fixtures. Jamshedpur scored twice against Goa, with new signings Javier Siverio and Jordan Murray finding the net, which shows their forward line is clicking right from the start.
For all the dominance of Mohun Bagan, Mumbai City managed to net two goals to walk away with a point on opening day. With quality forwards and creative midfielders in both teams, this should be a game with goals at both ends.

Expect over 2.5 goals
Backing over 2.5 goals in this match is an appealing option, considering the attacking talent on display. Both Jamshedpur and Mumbai City demonstrated their offensive capabilities while showing some defensive vulnerabilities in their season openers.
This combination could lead to an entertaining, high-scoring affair. Three goals were scored in Jamshedpur's opener, while Mumbai City's match with Mohun Bagan produced four.
Together, Greg Stewart, Lallianzuala Chhangte, and Bipin Singh form one of the most potent attacking trios in the league. In contrast, Jamshedpur's new-look attack with Siverio and Murray looks promising already.
