Fridays offering from the Indian Super League is an intriguing contest between two teams at differing ends of the table. Bottom placed side NorthEast United welcome 6th place side Bengaluru. NorthEast are just playing for pride at this stage whilst Bengaluru find themselves firmly in the top 4 picture and just sit two points off Jamshedspur who occupy the final playoff spot.

Match result

It’s been a miserable season for NorthEast who have only accrued ten points from their seventeen league games so far this season. NorthEast have won just two league games all season and head into this match with five defeats in their last six. Bengaluru have been in far better form having won three and drawn one of their last four matches. When these sides met earlier in the season it was Bengaluru who emerged victorious, winning 4-2. There isn’t anything to suggest that the scoreline will be reversed here and the smart play has to be on Bengaluru picking up an essential three points.

Over 2.5 goals

The over 2.5 goal market looks like a good bet to play in this match. Two of the last five matches between the sides have seen the over 2.5 goals achieved. NorthEast have the worst defensive record in the league and have seen over 2.5 goals surpassed in their last three matches and in four of their last five. Out of all the sides currently in the top 6, Bengaluru have the second worst defensive record and have seen over 2.5 goals in three of their last five games. With both teams looking shaky at the back of late, it might be the smart play to side with the over 2.5 goals here.

Both teams to score

These two sides have met eleven times in the past and seven of these have seen both teams find the back of the net. NorthEast have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last ten matches whilst Bengaluru have only kept two in their last five. Despite being on the wrong end of several results, NorthEast have been able to score in four of their last five. At the odds we think it makes sense to back both teams in finding the back of the net once again.
