Mumbai City FC will take on NorthEast United FC in the second game of Matchday 16 of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 at the Mumbai Football Arena on Thursday, January 19.
Both teams come into this match on the back of successful results. While Mumbai City FC picked up a good 1-0 away win against ATK Mohun Bagan, NorthEast United FC held strong to avoid defeat against FC Goa, drawing 2-2 at home. While the Highlanders were officially knocked out of the tournament after that defeat, they are showing signs of playing better football.

Bipin Singh, Lallianzuala Chhangte, Wilmar Gil, Ahmed Jahouh, and Greg Stewart are the five players I have on both of my suggestions. Greg Stewart, Bipin Singh, and Lallianzuala Chhangte would be my favored captaincy picks.
