"We are very happy with the entire squad. The players who come in, they make an impact and the young players blend well with the experienced stars too," Mumbai City FC head coach Petr Kratky told the media.

"If we win tomorrow (on Wednesday), we are second with one game less than the first-placed Odisha FC. How is the mood? Of course, it's always better when you win rather than when you lose, isnt' it?" FC Goa head coach Manolo Marquez expressed in the pre-match post conference.

Mumbai City FC won four of their last five games in Indian Super League 2023-24 and only lost once against Jamshedpur FC. On the contrary, FC Goa lost three of their last five games in the league and won just once against Hyderabad FC.
