There is now only one place left for the playoffs in the sixth season of the Hero Indian Super League and Mumbai City FC and Chennaiyin FC will take on each other at the Mumbai Football Arena here on Friday to ensure their place at this venue. The team that will win from Mumbai and Chennai will become the fourth and final team to reach the playoffs this season. In such a situation, it is going to be a do or die battle between the two teams. FC Goa, ATK and Bengaluru FC have already reached the playoffs. Mumbai City are at the fourth position with 26 points from 17 matches while the Chennai team is at number five with 25 points from 16 matches. Chennai have a greater chance of reaching the playoffs than Mumbai. If Chennai also plays a draw then they will have a chance to reach the playoffs in the next and their last group match.

While a win in this match will lead Chennai to the playoffs, on the other hand after playing a draw, they will have a chance to reach the playoffs in their next match, which they have to play against Northeast United FC next week. At the same time, if Chennaiyin loses in this match then it will be out of the playoff race. In this match, Odisha FC will also have their eyes set, which is held at number six.

The good thing for Mumbai is that she is playing at her home, where she has won the last three matches. The team, led by George Costa, would like to post their fourth consecutive win at home and cut the playoff ticket. Costa said, "The good thing is that tomorrow's match depends on us. If we win then we will reach the top-4. We have 90-95 minutes to win a match and I believe We will do that. We are going to do our best to get ourselves into the top-4. "Chennai has two players in the form of Nerijus Vlaskis and Rafael Crivellaro, on whom the team relies heavily. Both the players have scored 13 and seven goals respectively. The two-time champions beat ATK 3–1 in their last match and the team is running unbeaten from the last six matches. Chennai coach Owen Coyle said, "We have a lot of players. We have a lot of good players, apart from Vlaskis and Crivellaro. But, our strength is to unite the team. It will get to see us. When I am here at the club Everyone came and said that we have no chance. We were under pressure to win 10 matches. "
