Hosts Goa welcomes Northeast United to the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim for this Indian Super League encounter. The hosts are currently in 9th position with 12 points while the visitors are in 10th place with 8 points. The congested nature of the league table means that Goa are only 5 points behind the second placed team and just four points away from the playoff positions. They have been in excellent recent form and have only lost once in their last seven matches. They had a disastrous start to the season losing their first three matches before their change in fortunes. Goa’s 1-0 win in their last match was their first clean sheet of the season. In their first nine matches of the season they conceded 18 goals at an average of two goals per match.

Northeast United urgently need an improvement of their form as they sit in tenth position with just eight points from their 10 matches. They are two points above the bottom placed team although they do have a game in hand. They have just one win in their last six matches and that win came against East Bengal and they were assisted by the opposition being reduced to 10 men due to a red card. The main reason for their poor season has been their porous defence. They have conceded a league high 22 goals in their 10 matches at an average of 2.2 goals per match.
