Punjab FC Look To Build On Winning Start
Punjab FC, under new head coach Pavlos Dermitzakis, beat Odisha FC 2-1 in their opener, with Raphaël Messi Bouli scoring in the first and last minutes.
It is their second successive home game, and they are expected to field a similar lineup to the one that won the first match.
Mumbai City Seek A Response
Mumbai City were beaten 2-1 by newcomers Churchill Brothers in Goa on October 11, in Márquez's first game in charge, and sit 12th in the table after the first game week.
Márquez is expected to make changes. Vikram Partap Singh is available again after serving a suspension, and captain Akash Mishra will be key against Punjab's attacking runners.
