NorthEast United FC vs Bengaluru FC Team News
NorthEast United FC
The Highlanders come into the Bengaluru FC clash on the back of a crushing 4-2 loss to Hyderabad FC. Federico Gallego and Benjamin Lambot were on the scoresheet for NorthEast United FC in that match.
The Guwahati-based club is currently in a slump, despite making a good start to its campaign. Since the Highlanders' win over SC East Bengal, they have failed to get a victory in their next six matches.
The dip in form will be a big cause of concern for head coach Gerard Nus as their overseas striker Kwesi Appiah is currently injured. Nus' team will still desperately look to turn around its fortunes when it takes on a struggling Bengaluru FC.
Injured - Kwesi Appiah
Doubtful - None
Suspension - None
Bengaluru FC
Bengaluru FC are going through a mini-crisis after suffering their fourth straight defeat of the ISL 2020-21 season. They lost to SC East Bengal by a solitary goal in their last match.
The clash against the Red and Golds was the first one for the Blues' interim head coach Naushad Moosa. They have scored only one goal in their four losses while conceding six.
The losses brought an end to their six-game unbeaten streak at the start of the ISL 2020-21 season. They have also dropped out of the top-four playoffs spot. Bengaluru FC will aim to get their campaign back on track in the second half of the season.
Injured - Ashique Kuruniyan
Doubtful - None
Suspension - None
