NorthEast United form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Indian Super League this season. NorthEast United have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium.

The NorthEast manager Balbul and his side return home after a 3-3 draw away versus East Bengal (placed 9th).

Midfield player MS got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, the max score being 10. MS scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as NorthEast have allowed the opposition to score 25 goals here at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium.
