Do-or-Die for NorthEast: Host 2nd-placed Bagan at Sarusajai With Playoffs Nearly Over

In the current season, out of 8 matches played, NorthEast United have only 1 win against 3 draws and 4 defeats. With 7 points, NorthEast United are currently 11th in the table. Chances of securing a playoff spot are almost over.
In this situation, NorthEast United face a tough challenge at the Sarusajai Stadium tomorrow as they take on table toppers Mohun Bagan, who are in second place.
Since the start of the season, NorthEast have not been in rhythm at all. They have been performing well in attack but have been poor in the defense department. Coach Benali’s aim is to stop Mohun Bagan’s momentum with a strong home performance after the previous disappointment.
Benali remains confident in his players. There are no injury concerns in the team. In midfield, there is reliance on Parthib’s fine play.
Meanwhile, this is a golden opportunity for Mohun Bagan to reclaim the top spot from Mumbai City.
