NorthEast United form and stats

The manager Jamil is not happy with the away performances in the Indian Super League so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for NorthEast as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Bengaluru match.

NorthEast lost away at Jamshedpur (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. NorthEast United were so close to getting something from the game against Jamshedpur, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime. Brown, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.63. Brown scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting Mumbai City.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Odisha FC in just four days.

NorthEast have scored 5 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. The NorthEast United defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 13 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Goa and NorthEast United have faced each other previously this season: NorthEast United - Goa 2-1. Head to head data (for the prior ten meetings): Goa won three games, five matches ended in a draw and NorthEast United managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two
