In Match 23 of the Hero Indian Super League 2018-19, Delhi Dynamos FC and NorthEast United FC are all set to lock horns against each other. The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, Dynamos' home ground, will host the match on October 30, 2018.
After being held by Jamshedpur FC 1-1 in their last encounter at home, NorthEast United FC will be eyeing all three points in their away fixture against the tottering Delhi Dynamos FC on Tuesday, to secure the top position of the league table. Currently, NEUFC have 8 points in 4 matches (won two, drawn two).
NorthEast United FC started their campaign in a fine fashion this season, better than their previous four seasons of the Indian Super League (ISL). They started with a draw against the current table toppers, FC Goa, and then registered a significant 1-0 win over the two-time ISL Champions ATK and a thrilling 4-3 win over Chennaiyin FC. It's needless to say that Eelco Schattorie's men are currently having a dream run in the ISL 2018-19.
On the other hand, Delhi Dynamos are probably having their worst ever ISL run this season, as they failed to manage a single win so far. Currently, Josep Gombau's men have three points in five matches (lost two, drawn three).
The Dynamos will undoubtedly be desperate in their fixture against NEUFC, to get the sweet taste of victory.

Delhi Dynamos FC vs NorthEast United FC: Key Players
Delhi Dynamos FC: Lallianzuala Chhangte
Delhi Dynamos coach Josep Gombau lets his wingers create chances from the flanks and for that purpose, Chhangte will certainly be the man in focus. This 21-year-old Indian midfielder has the ability to make pinpoint crosses from the wings and pick out the main striker Andrija Kaluderovoic at the centre of the box. This season, Chhangte has played in five matches for Dynamos and has made 26 crosses from his end.
NorthEast United FC: Bartholomew Ogbeche
The 30-year-old French centre-forward has the unquenchable appetite for goals. Ogbeche (five goals from four games) is currently second in the race for the ISL 2018-19 Golden Boot award, right after Ferran Corominas (six goals from four games) of FC Goa. Ogbeche has played 112 passes so far, with an accuracy of 63.39%.
