Inter Kashi vs Mumbai City FC Preview

• Competition: Kalinga Super Cup
• Date: Sunday, 27 April
• Kick-Off Time: 11:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Kalinga Stadium

The Inter Kashi vs Mumbai City FC match will be played on Sunday, 27 April at the Kalinga Stadium. Both teams will lock horns against each other for the first time.

Inter Kashi are a team that is surrounded by controversy this season, as they failed to win the I-League, as AIFF announced Churchill Brothers as the winners. Since they didn't win the league, they will not play Indian Super League next season. They have appealed this decision to CAS and are now determined to win the Super Cup. They were not the favourites to win the Round of 16 match against Bengaluru FC, but they did beat one of the favourites of this competition and made a statement. They are a quality team who are capable of beating any team, and surely they have nothing to lose. They have a full squad for this competition and will have to be at their best to win against the Islanders.

Mumbai City FC had a poor season in the ISL as they were not able to win any trophy this season so far, and fans are not at all happy with their performance. The Islanders are seeking to get a spot in the Continental competition, but for that, they will have to win the Super Cup. Despite missing their key players in the team, as they fielded only two foreign players, Kratky's team trashed Owen Coyle's men by 4-0 and booked a spot in the Quarter-Finals in the Super Cup. They are also determined to win this fixture and book their slot in the semi-finals. This will be a mouthwatering fixture for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Inter Kashi vs Mumbai City FC

Mario Barco (Inter Kashi)

This is the second season of Mario Barco with Inter Kashi, and he is one of the best-performing players for them. Even though injuries have hampered his consistency a bit but he is still a quality player. He has spent most of his career playing in the Spanish second and third divisions. Fans love him, and he is a hardworking player who gives his best on the pitch. Barco is fast and a proper poacher who is always present in the right position at the right time.

The only concern is that he is not a disciplined player and quite often gets cards in matches. Barco is the player who can cause a lot of trouble to the opposition team on Sunday. This season, he has played 10 games in which he scored three goals and provided one assist.

Jorge Ortiz (Mumbai City FC)

The Spaniard joined the Islanders in the Winter Transfer window and is a key player for them. Even though he is still adapting to his new team, he is capable of making a difference on the field. Quality-wise, he is one of the best in the country. Fans have criticised him due to poor performance so far for the team, but surely Kratky and his staff will have full faith in him.

He is a player who can dribble past opponents easily and can score as well as provide assists to his teammates. Ortiz is a pacey winger who, despite his short stature, can beat opponents. So far, he has played 20 games for the Islanders and hasn't scored any goals.

Inter Kashi vs Mumbai City FC Prediction

Despite having a depleted squad for this competition, the Islanders trashed Chennaiyin FC. This will be a tight and competitive fixture for sure. Kashi are hungry to prove their value in this competition, and they will be a tough team to beat for sure. This will be an exciting clash for sure, but most probably the I-League team will win this match.
