Coached by the experienced Valentin Altenburg, the newly drafted Dabang Mumbai side has some stars in its line-up which will allow them to take on their opponents with much fervour and confidence.
On the other hand, undeterred by the absence of their captain Sardar Singh, the defending champions will give it their best shot in the impending game to record a triumph and live up to the expectations of coach Cedric D’Souza.
"This is an important game for us. We have worked on our plans and bettered it for the upcoming matches. The team has also worked on its defence and I am sure we will make a comeback in the next match," D’Souza said.
Talking about the clash, Altenburg said, “I’m very satisfied on how the whole team works on their action goals. The game against Ranchi was a step in the right direction. Tomorrow we will take the next step. We will play the Dabang style with heart for 60 minutes and then we will see what is on the scoreboard."
