The thrilling action carries on in the Indian Super League (ISL) as the fourth round sees NorthEast United FC taking on SC East Bengal at the Tilak Maidan, Goa.
NorthEast United FC are undefeated in the competition so far having garnered five points from their three ISL matches. They started their ISL season with a win over Mumbai City FC and have drawn consecutive matches since then against Kerala Blasters FC and FC Goa.
Head coach Gerard Nus has managed to instill a defensive stability in his side with the Highlanders' centre-back pairing of Benjamin Lambot and Dylan Fox. Both the overseas players are making their first appearance in the ISL and have impressed with their performances at the back.
SC East Bengal are struggling to get going in their debut ISL campaign, having faced defeat at the hands of rivals ATK Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City FC. Head coach Robbie Fowler will be hoping for a turnaround when they take on the Highlanders.
The Red and Golds will have to regroup and back their stellar overseas signings such as Anthony Pilkington and Matti Steinmann to deliver their first ISL win.
