ISL 2023-24: NorthEast United vs Punjab FC – Build-up

The 2023-24 Indian Super League (ISL) season is about to reach its business with all the clubs fighting for something or the other. Five clubs are fighting for the top spot while six clubs are battling it out against each other for the sixth position.

Next up, NorthEast United will host Punjab FC in Guwahati as they return to their base after three back-to-back away games. Both sides played out a 1-1 draw in New Delhi earlier in the season. 

The Highlanders’ top six aspirations received a blow following their 2-2 draw against Hyderabad. It was a game which they were expected to win, but they gave away a 0-2 lead and dropped two crucial points on the road. 

Juan Pedro Benali’s men currently find themselves outside of the top-six after their draw against the Nizams. The pressure and stakes are very high for the Highlanders going into the game because any slip-ups at this stage will cost them heavily.

Punjab FC on the other hand have found their mojo in the league ever since the turn of the year. They have looked a completely different unit after the winter break. They are also in the quest for a spot in the top-six and can very well go the distance if things go their way.

Punjab have had an excellent away form this year as they have won both of their away games this season. They come into this game after a 2-3 defeat to Mumbai City FC at home in their last game and will be keen to turn things around in Guwahati.
