Match Prediction

Both teams are facing a dry run in this season of the Indian league. Lucknow has very lean chances to qualify for the Playoffs stages, whereas Mumbai has already been eliminated. Lucknow has looked weak over the last few matches and the match will be played in Mumbai. Hence we expect the five-time champions to win this game.
