TEAMS PREVIEW

NorthEast United FC Preview

The Highlanders will be desperate to turn things around, especially at home where they’ve suffered back-to-back defeats. 

More worrying is the manner of those losses—conceding seven goals while scoring just once.

They head into Sunday’s clash on a three-game winless run (L2 D1), with dropped points coming against lower-ranked sides like Odisha FC, Kerala Blasters and Sporting Delhi. 

In the meantime, their latest outing, a 1-1 draw against the Blasters, required a moment of brilliance from Lalrinzuala Lalbiaknia to avoid a third straight defeat.

Currently sitting 10th, another setback could see them slip further down the table with the likes of Odisha and Chennaiyin closing in on them. 

NorthEast United  Probable XI -  Gurmeet Singh (GK); Dinesh Singh, Asheer Akhtar, Buanthanglun Samte, Nickson Macarton, Bekey Oram, Andy Rodriguez, Redeem Tlang, Jithin MS, Parthib Gogoi, Danny Meitei. 

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

Mohun Bagan were involved in a thrilling five-goal contest against Punjab FC last weekend, eventually coming out on top. 

The Mariners showed resilience by twice coming from behind through Jamie Maclaren and Sahal Abdul Samad, before Jason Cummings sealed the win with a stunning stoppage-time free-kick.

The victory snapped a three-game winless run and underlined their strong home form, where they’ve picked up the most points in the league this season. 

However, their away record tells a different story—winless in two matches so far. It’s something Sergio Lobera will be keen to address in this trip to the Northeast.

Mohun Bagan Probable XI -  Vishal Kaith (GK); Apuia, Mehtab Singh, Alberto Rodríguez, Aldred,  Subhasish Bose, Anirudh Thapa, Abhishek Singh, Robinho, Liston Colaco, Jamie Maclaren. 

NORTHEAST UNITED FC vs ATK MOHUN BAGAN
Winning Prediction

Mohun Bagan head into this clash as clear favourites, backed by a dominant head-to-head record that includes four wins in their last five meetings with NorthEast United. They’ve also enjoyed success at this venue, winning on their previous two visits.

In contrast, NorthEast have managed just one win in their last nine ISL matches. Considering the overall form and history, Mohun Bagan look well placed to come away with all three points.
