Northeast United vs FC Goa Prediction & Betting Tips - Indian Super League

Prediction published on 29/12/2023, 01:11  by Sridhar in Indian Super League Predictions

Indian Super League leaders FC Goa will look to maintain their grip over the top position as they make a tricky visit to NorthEast United. This match will be played at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on Friday. Ahead of this round, Goa are top of the table with 23 points from nine matches while the hosts are 8th with 11 points from 11 matches. NorthEast United start this round just a point outside the top-six which represents a fair chance for them to hang on to. The hosts drew 1-1 with Bengaluru in their last league match, a result that extended their winless run to six matches. They drew and lost three games each in that sequence and will hope for better result this time. Eight of their points in this campaign have come at home across their last five league matches, so the hopes would be high of upsetting the leaders.

Goa are the only unbeaten side of this league campaign with seven wins and two draws. They defeated Mohun Bagan 4-1 in their last league game, making it their seventh win of the campaign. Both their draws have been goalless stalemates, coming against Bengaluru and Mumbai City. In fact, Goa have the best defensive record of this season with only four goals conceded. That could be put to test here though, as they conceded goals in two of their last four away ISL matches.
