ISL 2023-24: NorthEast Utd Ignite Playoff Aspirations Against Power-packed Mohun Bagan Super Giant
Dimitrios Petratos rose to the occasion to deliver a decisive blow that will have a ripple effect at the top of the table, and Antonio Lopez Habas must be looking to continue that impressive run when they welcome the Highlanders on Saturday. On the other hand, NEUFC beat MBSG rivals East Bengal FC in a thrilling 3-2 encounter in Guwahati last Saturday. Powered by the incoming striker Tomi Juric, their attack donned a sudden lethal look that took the Red & Gold Brigade aback immediately.
Interestingly, both sides head into this contest on the back of momentum and form favouring them. The Mariners had made light work of NEUFC when they last met in the ISL in December, but one must surely expect a more gripping and competitive contest this time around, given the context and circumstances. Slowly but steadily, Habas and his plans are taking shape in the MBSG unit. With their win against FC Goa, they have now kept clean sheets in consecutive matches for the first time in this ISL season.
