Match begins: 14:30 (UTC)
Venue: Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium (35000 seats)

It's finally time for the Indian Super League opening game for these contenders, whom at last are competing for points again. Will NorthEast United or Mumbai City get that important first three points?

These teams have little in common geographically as Mumbai City have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

NorthEast United and Mumbai City should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

NorthEast United have prepared for this season with two friendly games versus mixed opposition.

Mumbai City form and stats

Last season was a triumph for Mumbai City in the national league as they took home the Indian Super League trophy. The championship was secured after 14 wins, 4 draws and only 2 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 8, drew 1 and lost 1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Mumbai City manager Buckingham as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Odisha FC.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): NorthEast four wins, three draws and Mumbai City three victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
