NorthEast United vs Mumbai City: Build-up

The Indian Super League (ISL 2022-23) is well underway amidst the FIFA World Cup happening just a few thousand kilometres away. The focus now shifts to this week’s second game that will take place in Guwahati. NorthEast United will play host to the former ISL Champions Mumbai City on a Friday evening. The Islanders will go up against the Highlanders with a hope to continue their fine run of form.

NorthEast United are yet to find their mojo and are the only team on the table with no points to show for their efforts. The Highlanders come into the game on the back of a six-match losing run and will surely want to put this behind their back come Friday.

Marco Balbul’s boys have undergone two weeks rest and should be able to bring out a better version of themselves. NorthEast United should take inspiration from the fact that they are unbeaten at home against the visitors for the last four years.

The Islanders on the other hand are enjoying a sublime run of form and have little to worry as they make a trip to the other end of the country. Des Buckingham’s side come into the game after scoring 10 goals in their last two matches and are surely high on confidence. 

The former champions need to be alert of the danger that the Highlanders possess, as with not much to lose, NorthEast could surely bring out a surprise out of nowhere.
