Both, NorthEast United FC and Mumbai City FC are in the top four of the Indian Super League. Both the teams look set to make the playoffs this season, but a slump in the last two games can see both of them miss out on the playoff spots.

Mumbai have Pune, and ATK left to face, while NorthEast United have Pune and Kerala Blasters.

If either the Islanders or Highlanders lose their remaining two games and Jamshedpur and ATK manage to win their next assignments, then things would be very different for the both the Bollywood star owned teams.

As per the current standing, both NorthEast United and Mumbai have played 16 games each with 27 points, while Jamshedpur and ATK have a game in hand compared to both the teams.

FC Pune City, who has no hope of making the playoff, will play a crucial role in deciding who go through as they are to face both Mumbai and Northeast United FC.

Jamshedpur and ATK will be hoping that Pune pulls up their socks and do both the teams' huge favour by defeating Mumbai City FC and NorthEast United FC.
