Head-to-head Record: These two have faced each other only twice in the league, and NorthEast managed to walk away with a win and a draw. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

NorthEast United FC Preview

After a 10-day break, NorthEast United return for one final outing this season, hoping to close their campaign on a positive note in front of their home fans. Despite playing the majority of their matches at home, the Highlanders have struggled for consistency and spent much of the season in the bottom half of the table. 

Their home record has also been mixed, with three wins and four defeats — among the highest home-loss tallies in the league.

However, they head into this clash with momentum on their side after back-to-back home victories, including an emphatic 4-1 win over Chennaiyin FC where Jairo Samperio starred with a brace. With a possible eighth-place finish still within reach, NorthEast now need a win and favourable results elsewhere to end the season on a brighter note.

Key Players 

Jairo Samperio has carried his strong form into the closing stages of the season after following up an impressive display against Inter Kashi with another standout performance in the previous game. With three goal contributions across his last two matches, the Spaniard once again looks set to shoulder NorthEast United’s hopes of ending the campaign on a high.

NorthEast United  Probable XI -  Gurmeet Singh (GK); Ngasepam, Asheer Akhtar, Andy, Robin Yadav, Nickson, Soraisham, Ashraf, Jithin MS, Parthib Gogoi, Jairo Samperio. 

Mohammedan SC Preview

Mohammedan SC saw their relegation fate confirmed on the last matchday after a crushing 4-0 defeat to Mumbai City. Needing a win to stay alive, the Black Panthers instead endured a nightmare start, conceding three goals inside the opening 25 minutes, including an unfortunate own goal from Sajad Parray. 

It was a performance with few positives and brought an abrupt end to their brief run of resilience, where they had picked up points in three straight matches.

The defeat also left Mohammedan with eight losses this season — the most by any team in the league — and confirmed a second consecutive bottom-place finish.

Key Player

Mohammedan could have suffered an even heavier defeat if not for Padam Chettri, who emerged as one of the few bright spots with six crucial saves. The goalkeeper was arguably their standout performer and will need another inspired display against NorthEast United, who have found their scoring touch in recent matches.

Mohammedan SC Probable XI - Padam Chetri  (GK), Hira Mondal, Gaurav Bora, Pukhrambam Meitei, Sajad Parray, Amarjit Singh, Lalremsanga Fanai, Mahitosh Roy, Tangva Ragui, Makan Chothe, Adison Singh. 

NORTHEAST UNITED FC vs MOHAMMEDAN SC
Winning Prediction

With neither side playing under pressure, this contest could open up into an entertaining end-to-end battle. If that happens, NorthEast United are likely to hold the upper hand given their recent scoring form, while Mohammedan SC have struggled in front of goal all season. 

Adding to that, NorthEast completely dominated the previous meeting between the two, running out 6-0 winners in the Super Cup. Considering current form and recent history, the Highlanders look well placed to finish the season with a victory.

When it comes to the odds, NorthEast are the overwhelming favorites.  According to a well-known betting site, NorthEast are tipped to win with odds of 1.24  to Mohammedan's 9.15 and a draw at 5.45.
