Teams Preview
NorthEast United FC Preview
Riding high after their 2-1 win over Jamshedpur, NorthEast United looked set to build momentum but were instead handed a reality check against Odisha.
An early goal in the sixth minute, followed by a red card to Muthu Mayakkannan in the 36th, derailed their plans as they slumped to a heavy 4-1 defeat, with even an own goal compounding their misery. The only bright spot was Macarton Nickson’s composed equaliser in the 10th minute.
Adding to their concerns, coach Juan Pedro Benali was already forced into a change in the starting XI with Miquel Zabaco’s injury, bringing in Asheer Akhtar. Now, with Mayakkannan suspended, another enforced reshuffle awaits ahead of Friday’s clash.
NorthEast United Probable XI - Gurmeet Singh (GK); Dinesh Singh, Asheer Akhtar, Buanthanglun Samte, Nickson Macarton, Bekey Oram, Andy Rodriguez, Redeem Tlang, Jithin MS, Parthib Gogoi, Danny Meitei.
Sporting Club Delhi Preview
Sporting Club Delhi, meanwhile, enjoyed a far more positive outing, securing their first win of the season with a 2-0 victory over struggling Kerala Blasters.
Goals from Mohammed Aimen and Matija Babaovic sealed the result, with Aimen—facing his former side—stealing the spotlight as he opened the scoring and earned Player of the Match honors.
The win lifted Delhi to 12th in the table and extended their unbeaten run to three games.
With results against strong sides like Mumbai City and Jamshedpur in that stretch, they head into this clash full of belief and capable of springing a surprise.
Sporting Club Delhi Probable XI - Nora Fernandes (GK); Rafael Ribeiro, Alex Saji, Manoj Mohammad, Abdul Halik Hudu, Lalrochana, L. Semkholun, Ousmane Fane, Sunny, Matija Babović, Mohammed Aimen.
NORTHEAST UNITED FC vs SPORTING CLUB DELHI
Winning PredictionNorthEast United’s campaign has been anything but consistent, mixing heavy defeats with a win and a couple of draws, making them a difficult side to predict. However, with two key players set to miss out, the Highlanders may adopt a more cautious approach rather than going all-in for a win. On the other hand, Sporting Club Delhi, playing away from home, are also likely to stay compact and avoid risks. Given these factors, a draw appears to be the most probable outcome.
