Match Preview
As NorthEast United prepares to host Mumbai City at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, both teams are looking to secure crucial points in the Indian Super League. NorthEast United comes into this match with a mixed bag of results, having won two of their last five matches, while Mumbai City has struggled with just one win in their last five outings. Historically, Mumbai has the upper hand in their recent encounters, winning five of the last ten meetings, which could give them a psychological edge.
One key angle to consider is the goal-scoring potential of both teams. The odds suggest a strong likelihood of goals, with over 2.5 goals priced at 1.8 and both teams to score at 1.62. Given that seven of the last ten head-to-head clashes have featured over 2.5 goals and six have seen both teams find the net, this match could very well follow a similar pattern. With both teams needing to improve their form, an open and attacking game is anticipated.
