ISL 2024-25: NorthEast United FC vs Bengaluru FC Lineups, Team News, Preview

Preview: Northeast United FC vs Bengaluru FC

NorthEast United FC

This season, compared to last, the Highlanders have progressed tremendously, yet they are faced with the age-old demon of dropping points from winning positions. Juan Pedro Benali's side has once again faced this dilemma. Notwithstanding, the Spaniard has made his team respond well to setbacks, so he will look forward to achieving consistency in his team's performances in matches coming up next.

A win against Bengaluru would be a huge morale booster ahead of the team's difficult stretch leading up to the playoffs. A loss, especially to a team that could bypass them in the standings with a win, would not fare well.

Bengaluru FC

In their last five league matches, the Blues have had a dismal run, winning just once and drawing once. Their previous game produced a much-needed win over Jamshedpur FC, in which Alberto Noguera scored a brace while Edgar Mendez netted one for the three points.

At the back, Bengaluru have struggled all season, with their last clean sheet being in the last match, thus ending a streak of 14 games without one. Gerard Zaragoza will look to capitalize on that and end the season with another victory. A loss, however, may do severe damage to their chances of making the playoffs, potentially leaving them to rely on other results.
