After having failed to appear in the final of the ISL so far, it will take more than just one good performance from Malouda in order to make Delhi Dynamos one of the strongest outfits in the ISL. The main challenge for the club will be to overcome the competition from Mumbai City, who are widely perceived to have the best attack in the division. The team’s next matches are against Atletico de Kolkata, Pune City, and Goa.
