Two points separate the two teams with Mumbai City having 22 as compared to their rivals' 20 and a win for either would take them to the top while a draw will keep the home team at the peak going into the play-offs.
When the two teams met in the first leg in Delhi, they played a high scoring 3-3 draw with plenty of twists.
"This can be an open game, like the one in Delhi. Like we saw yesterday night (between FC Goa and Chennaiyin FC) when teams are liberated, they can play without too much concern. I hope fans can go there and support our team and we can give them a good performance and a good game," said Guimaraes today.
The Costa Rican coach said he did not think of resting key players for the play-off battles ahead.
Delhi were leading the ISL table for long spells and they can now finish on top if they can get the better of Mumbai City.
"Against NorthEast United, we played a very
low-intensity game. I didn't like the first part and the team's reaction after conceding two goals. We have to work together and play with a lot more intensity. We must have a good attitude for this game and also semi-finals. We should play like we know," said Zambrotta.
"We want to win and try to be first in the league but it's the same thinking that our opponents will have. We have done a good job until now and we are focused to finish the first part of the tournament in the best way. After that, we will prepare for the semi-finals and continue in the same manner," said Zambrotta.
