NorthEast United FC will fancy their chances of cementing their position in the top four of the points table when they host Mohammedan SC for an Indian Super League (ISL) clash at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on Friday.
NorthEast United FC are enjoying a strong campaign, currently in the top half of the table, while Mohammedan SC are languishing at the bottom, having collected only six points from their 13 matches.
The hosts have garnered 21 points from the 13 matches they have played so far this season and are currently sitting at the fourth spot, a rung below FC Goa, who have 22 points from 12 matches.
The Highlanders will enter Friday's fixture buoyed by a commanding 3-0 victory over Mumbai City FC in their last game, while the visitors continue to struggle, with three consecutive away defeats.
This will be the second ISL meeting between the two sides and a win here will see the Highlanders complete a league double for the first time since the 2020-21 season.
The two teams present contrasting fortunes in the league.
