NorthEast United FC will welcome Mumbai City FC in the eighth game week of the Indian Super League at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati. The home team are on a losing run and can definately use a win to have some hopes for the season. Who will win? 

NorthEast United FC Form

NorthEast are on a six-game losing run in the ISL. They are sitting at the bottom of the table with no wins in this campaign. The team has only scored only two goals over the course of the season which will be a cause of major concern. They badly need a win to kickstart their season.

NorthEast United FC's possible lineup

Arindam Bhattacharya; Joe Zoherliana, Aaron Evans, Michael Jakobsen, Gurjinder Kumar; Romain Philippoteaux, Jon Gaztanaga, Emmanuel Lalchhanchhuaha; Imran Khan, Parthib Gogoi, Jithin MS.

Mumbai City FC Form

Mumbai is on an upward trajectory in the ISL. They won the last game against a dull Bengaluru side and were impressive in their 4-0 victory. Sitting in the second spot they are favourites to win the game. Mumbai is coming out of a two-week break. They could have not asked for a better game than against Northeast United to get the momentum going. 

Mumbai City FC Predicted lineup

Phurba Lachenpa; Rahul Bheke, Rostyn Griffiths, Mehtab Singh, Mandar Rao Desai; Apuia, Ahmed Jahouh; Lallianzuala Chhangte, Greg Stewart, Bipin Singh, Pereyra Diaz.

NorthEast United FC vs Mumbai City FC expert tips

We are expecting a very one-sided affair going into the game. Expect Mumbai to come on top despite their break. Northeast will try hard but Mumbai has been on a phenomenal run this season. More than 2.5 goals are expected as Mumbai has been ruthless in their game. Expect only one team to score as the Northeast is not doing good in front of the goal.
