The last time they met was in Feb 26, which ended 1-1, and most of the last six meetings have been closely contested. This time both teams come into the match in different shape, as it is the opening period of the season when no one has truly established their form. NorthEast United drew 0-0 with Odisha FC in the Indian Super League on 24 Oct, after previously thrashing Kerala Blasters 4-1 at home on 18 Oct. Bengaluru, meanwhile, had just beaten Chennaiyin 2-0 at home in the Indian Super League on 17 Oct as well. So neither side enters the pitch feeling they are stumbling. This game is likely to be a back-and-forth exchange where neither side backs down easily, because both teams have weaknesses at different times. NorthEast United concede as much as 30% of their goals in the 61-75 minute period, while Bengaluru have also been conceding in the first half just as often. The first thing to watch after kick-off is whether both teams start by controlling possession or sit back waiting for counter-attacking chances.
