"We have analysed them," said NEUFC assistant coach Alison Kharsyntiew. "We have to approach the game well, put our best effort and try to win."
Although NEUFC have not managed to record a clean sheet in eight games now, under Jamil they won three matches in a row – the first time in history that they have managed to do that.
"I would like to give credit to coach Khalid, the technical director, the coaching staff and all the players who have done very well. We haven't changed anything. We have just strengthened our attacking and defensive principles and that's the only thing. We've been trying to play creative football."

The two sides played out a draw 1-1 earlier in the season but Goa coach Juan Ferrando is expecting NEUFC to come hard at them.
"The (NorthEast) players are happy, they are enjoying every game, every minute," he said. "The ambiance in their dressing room will be nice. They won the difficult games. The players are free on the pitch. They have gained a lot of positives."
Goa will also miss the services of Edu Bedia (suspended) and Brandon Fernandes (injured), making their task difficult.
Ferrando admitted he's feeling the heating of the playoff race but feels that has been a positive for his side. "I feel pressure all the time," he said. "It's good for the Indian league because more or less there is a difference of 3-4 points maximum between teams. It's good for us because we aren't relaxed. Every game is important and our mentality is to get the three points."
