ISL 2023-24: NorthEast United vs Kerala Blasters – Build-up

The Indian Super League (ISL) resumed proceedings after a halt due to the international break. The league returned with a bang and has made things very interesting in the context of the sixth and the final playoff spot. 

With a hope to take a crucial step forward to fuel their playoff aspirations, NorthEast United FC will return to action against Kerala Blasters who have already qualified for the playoffs. On that note, let us take a look at the preview ahead of the game.

It is a must-win game for the Highlanders because any slip-ups at this juncture will eliminate them from the playoffs race. They’ve got their faith in their own hands and will do the right things if they want to go into the knockouts. However, they have been out of action for almost a month now and had a forgetful outing in their last game as well. Juan Pedro Benali’s men will have to go all out and win all their remaining games if they want to qualify for the top six.

The Blasters became the fifth team to qualify for the knockout this season. It will be their third consecutive playoffs appearance as Ivan Vukomanovic has helped them qualify for three playoffs in as many seasons. They come into this game following a humiliating 2-4 defeat to East Bengal at home and will be keen to bounce back stronger.
