NorthEast United vs Mohun Bagan SG: All-time head-to-head record in ISL

NorthEast takes on Mohun Bagan SG in a crucial match

NorthEast United are ready to host Mohun Bagan SG in their next match of the 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) campaign, in what should be another addition to the history of exciting matchups between these two sides in the top Indian league competition.

These two sides have been regularly facing off against one another since the introduction of Mohun Bagan SG into the ISL in the 2020-21 season.

As a result, there has been a number of memorable encounters that have been defined by thrilling goals and dramatic moments that have left fans wanting for more.

NorthEast United, however, have had a shaky 2025-26 ISL campaign so far, having been able to win just one of their eight matches so far and falling far away from the top teams.

Mohun Bagan SG, meanwhile, are firmly in the title race as they’re just one point behind league-leaders Mumbai City heading into their upcoming away clash against NorthEast United.

The contrasting form of Mohun Bagan SG and NorthEast United in their upcoming ISL clash should make this a particularly intriguing battle, with the Highlanders desperate to get a big win and the Mariners aiming to add more momentum to their title charge.

A contrasting season for both the sides so far

NorthEast United have struggled to impress in the 2025-26 ISL campaign so far, being plagued by inconsistency. They have only been able to pick up seven points from eight games, drawing four of those matches and only claiming one victory.

What is even more concerning that the Highlanders, without last season’s top-scorer Alaaeddine Ajaraie, have only scored seven goals in that period.

Mohun Bagan SG haven’t exactly been at their ruthless best in the ongoing ISL campaign, but they have been able to pick up 17 points from eight games to keep their place in the title race.

Sergio Lobera’s side have scored 18 goals in the competition so far, the second-highest for any side, and they’re coming at the back of a thrilling comeback win over Punjab FC.

When it comes to the NorthEast United vs Mohun Bagan SG matches in the ISL, there have been numerous action-packed battles between the two.

Even though it’s the Mariners to dominate their meetings over the years, fans can almost always expect the fireworks to burst when these two teams meet each other.
