Maxiya had remained undefeated in the league, winning four of their past five games before to this one. In the first AFC Cup encounter, they defeated Bangladesh champions Bashundhara Kings 3-1.

The Malé club’s most recent triumph featured goals from Vojislav Balabanovic, Hassan Nazeem, and Ali Fasir. The Mariners will be difficult to beat, as players like Petratos, Jason Cummings, and Hugo Boumous have been on fire.

While Maziya has had a strong start to the season, Mohun Bagan Super Giant will surely be favourites against the Maldives club. Given their current hot streak, MBSG would be disappointed if they did not take all three points from this game.
