NorthEast United FC vs Mohun Bagan Super Giant Prediction: NorthEast have done well against Mohun Bagan

NorthEast United FC will welcome Mohun Bagan Super Giant in Gameweek 10 of the Indian Super League at Sarusajai Stadium Guwahati. North East has scored in the last seven meetings against their Friday rivals. Who will win? 

It's no secret that NorthEast United FC had a challenging season last year. However, their solitary victory in 20 matches during the previous campaign occurred at this very venue against Mohun Bagan Super Giant on December 24, 2022. Wilmar Jordan Gil secured the winning goal in the 69th minute, and the home team aspires for a repeat performance, particularly considering their recent results.

The Highlanders have managed to score in each of their last seven encounters against the Mariners, maintaining an impressive four-game unbeaten streak at home. Their ability to harness the support of their home fans has been notable this season, and a positive outing against the formidable Mohun Bagan Super Giant would undoubtedly amplify the crowd's enthusiasm.

NorthEast United FC found solace in a 1-1 draw against Hyderabad FC, preventing a continuation of poor results following their 5-0 loss to East Bengal FC in Kolkata. Now, the focus is on breaking free from this stagnation and applying pressure on other teams once again.

The Mariners can bask in confidence after staging a comeback from a two-goal deficit to secure a point against the Juggernauts in their recent encounter. Armando Sadiku's brace serves as a testament to Ferrando's faith in the team's frontline. The Mohun Bagan Super Giant remain unbeaten in their last 12 ISL fixtures, even clinching the ISL 2022-23 trophy during this impressive run.

Despite grappling with various fitness concerns in the squad, the team's depth and overall quality should alleviate these challenges. In essence, the team is poised to back themselves for a three-point haul in this encounter. However, it's crucial for them not to underestimate NorthEast United FC, given the Highlanders' demonstrated discipline and dynamism, particularly on their home turf.

For the Mariners, only securing the top spot will fulfill their aspirations for the season. Consequently, they must avoid any potential slip-ups and channel their undivided focus into the ISL campaign.

This marks the 13th meeting between the two teams, and it will be the fifth time at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium. In the corresponding fixture in Guwahati late last year, the hosts secured a 1-0 victory, with their former player Jordan Wilmar Gil netting the lone goal. However, in this upcoming game, we anticipate Mohun Bagan to emerge victorious.
