Dream11 likely match scenario:
As cleared from our odds checker, Bengaluru FC are slightly favourite heading into this game. That said, don’t go with either team to have a shutout in this game for the small league teams.
NorthEast United team news: The Highlanders have signed Federico Gallego as a replacement for Maximiliano Barreiro, who scored just once in the first seven league games. Gallego has missed the entire season due to a knee injury.
Striker Asamoah Gyan remains a doubt due to an injury and will be evaluated before the game.
NorthEast United key players: Asamoah Gyan: 03 Goals. Panagiotis Triadis: 02 Goals. Redeem Tlang: 02 Goals.
Bengaluru FC Team News: No injury concerns for the visitors.
Bengaluru FC key players: Sunil Chhetri: 04 Goals. Erik Paartalu: 01 Goal. Udanta Singh: 01 Goal.
NorthEast United: Chowdhury (GK), Pradhan, Heerings, Komorski, Reagan, Leudo, Khawlhring, Kadam, Chaves, Tlang, Barreiro
Bengaluru FC: Sandhu (GK), Nishu, Juanan, Serran, Bheke, Delgado, Paartalu, Kuruniyan, Augusto, Udanta, Chhetri
The hosts have their own problems and don’t exude confidence before this game if their recent performances are taken into consideration. That aid, Bengaluru’s lack of goals means, the Highlanders can cage the visitors here.
Our call is a 1-1 draw.
