The clash is set to take place at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) on Friday, November 29, in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25.
The Highlanders (NEUFC) have been in impressive form this season, currently placed third with 15 points from nine games, thanks to four wins and three draws. They have scored 21 goals, conceded only 15, and lost just once in their last five matches. They trail table-toppers Bengaluru FC (20 points) by five points—a gap they will be confident of narrowing, given their recent cohesion and form.
East Bengal FC's form requires urgent improvement, but they made progress in their previous match, securing their first points of the season with a goalless draw in the Kolkata Derby against Mohammedan SC. They will now aim to go one step further and claim all three points in front of their passionate home crowd.
