NorthEast United vs Odisha FC: Build-up

NorthEast United will host Odisha FC at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium on Friday, in what is to be their final home of the ISL 2022-23 season. The home team are rock bottom in the league, and are expecting what would be only their second win of the campaign. Also, the Highlanders would love to spoil Odisha’s top-six aspirations, as a defeat for the visitors would be terrible for them at this stage of the season.

NorthEast’s season is pretty much over, as the Highlanders are unambiguously out of the qualification race, and are looking to draw the curtains, on what has been a pretty dreadful season for them. With merely two games left, NorthEast are not only on their way to the worst point total in an ISL season, but they are also looking at downright humiliation, as they have only picked five points throughout.

Odisha FC are currently seventh in the points table, and are one of the four teams, who are in the race for the fourth, fifth and sixth positions, respectively. The Juggernauts have had a roller-coaster ride this season, and have experienced their highs and lows, but haven’t failed to turn up at crucial moments. On Friday, their objective would be very much the same, and that is to pick up all three points, and put themselves in the perfect position, for a place in the top-six.
