Kolkata, Apr 14 (PTI) In a battle for survival, the out-of-form East Bengal will take on another lowly-placed outfit Mumbai FC in a crucial ONGC I-League tie at Yuba Bharati Krirangan here tomorrow. The victory will take both the teams out of the shadow of playing in the second division of the I-league next season. Out of the 14 teams, former champions East Bengal are now occupying the eleventh spot with 21 points from 19 matches. Mumbai FC are a step behind though they have also collected 21 points, but after playing more matches. Next to Mumbai FC are Lajong FC with 21 points from 20 games, while Sporting Club de Goa are at the bottom with 17 points after 20th round play. In their last outing, Mumbai FC drew with their city mate Mahindra United, while East Bengal conceded a 0-1 defeat inspite of dominating the match for most of the time. Though East Bengal forced a 3-1 victory in their last Calcutta Football League match against Kalighat, but of late they are displaying very poor show in the I-League. Out of the last six matches, they lost five and managed to draw only one game. With a spectre of relegation looming large, East Bengal will have to go all out tomorrow. .
