Their opponents, Bengaluru FC are on a poor run of their own with four straight losses. The former ISL champions are placed sixth on the ISL table with 12 points from ten matches.
Both the sides come into the encounter on the back of consecutive losses and will aim for a turn of fortunes. With their attacking firepower, Bengaluru FC will look to get the better of the Highlanders.
NEUFC vs BFC Match Prediction
Both the teams have very similar statistics in terms of goals scored and conceded. While NorthEast United FC and Bengaluru FC have scored 12 goals each, the ‘home team’ have conceded 1 more goal as compared to the visitors. We predict a win for Bengaluru FC as they aim to get back on the right track.
Bengaluru FC
The Blues have several new faced in the squad such as Manuel Onwu who comes in as a replacement for Miku.
Head coach, Carles Cuadrat has recently brought in Ashqiue Kuruniya to fill in the flanks. Eugeneson Lyndoh is back in the team after a stint in ATK last season. Raphael Augusto has also joined Bengaluru from Chennaiyin FC.
Keeping aside Miku, Bengaluru will also be without Xisco and Alex Barrera who have left the club.
The semi-finalists of 2018-19 season are also without quite a few important figureheads this year. Eelco Schatorri is now the new manager of Kerala Blasters and has brought along Bartholomew Ogbeche, TP Rehnesh and Seityasen Singh to strengthen Kerala.
Northeast United is now under the managerial leadership of Robert Jarni. Players such as Asamoah Gyan, Maximilliano Barrera, and Milan Singh are new personnel who have been brought in by the club.
