Indian Super League (ISL) club NorthEast United FC will resume the final leg of their season as club football returns after the international break. The group stage is done and dusted, and now the focus shifts for all clubs to the all-important playoffs.

The fourth-placed Highlanders will go up against fifth-placed Jamshedpur FC in the ISL playoffs for a place in the semi-finals. The winner of this game will play against Mohun Bagan Super Giant in semi-final 2.

The Stakes

NorthEast United FC

After three disappointing seasons, the Highlanders bounced back and have qualified for the playoffs. NorthEast United FC has been a treat to watch this season, and it has put together a series of consistent and dominant performances.

Their free-flowing style of football allows them to score many goals and gives the opposition no chance whatsoever. They have already done the league double over the Red Miners this season and will be keen to get an early advantage. Juan Pedro Benali has crafted this team in the best possible way and hopes to get past Jamshedpur by Sunday.

Jamshedpur FC

On the contrary, Jamshedpur FC has had a season of two halves. The Red Miners have won 10 games but have lost twelve on the other hand. Khalid Jamil’s side has not been consistent and has struggled to get things right on many occasions.

They have always had the upper hand against NorthEast United, but not this season. They have lost both games this season while conceding seven goals across the two regular season encounters. 

Injury and Team News

Both teams have had enough rest for this game and are expected to have all their players available for selection.
