Northeast United FC
- Northeast United FC had a 1-1 away draw against Kerala Blasters FC last time out but just six days prior, they suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to SC Delhi.
- There is nothing wrong with this result and this record of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last five Indian Super League games, but they have been defensively vulnerable on home soil.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant

- They have managed to maintain an unbeaten record away from home in the league (W1, D2).

Prediction
- Juan Pedro Benali has tried to foster a pragmatic, defensive mindset in Northeast United FC, they like to stay compact and create turnovers.
- They are not a possession-dominant side, preferring to transition into attacks quickly.
- Lobera is the complete opposite, he has his side press high, they rotate the ball fluently in midfield and defend with a high line, looking to dominate territory and control the ball as much as possible.
- Whoever wins this will take the momentum of the league, but given the form and the head-to-head record, we’re going with Mohun Bagan to take the points.
