ISL live points table. If the match stay on this course, Mohun Bagan will rise to the second spot on the points table after the next 45 minutes

A reminder: It's a doubleheader as Hyderabad FC host East Bengal right after this match!

What a season Jason Cummings is having as the Australian takes his goal count to six in ISL this season following a slow start!
Mohun Bagan look for another three points in their bid for the ISL shield as they take on NorthEast United FC in front of home fans at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday (February 17).
Mohun Bagan Super Giant (26 points in 13 games) are currently third on the points table and a win will put them ahead of second-placed FC Goa by a point. NEUFC, on the other hand, will look to take back the sixth spot, which is the last play-off spot too.
It makes sense that the Mariners would be high after stopping an FC Goa team that looked invincible, especially in Fatorda. Antonio Lopez Habas will want to build on their incredible run when they host the Highlanders on Saturday. Dimitrios Petratos rose to the occasion to deliver a decisive blow that will have repercussions at the top of the table.
On the other hand, on Saturday in Guwahati, NEUFC defeated East Bengal FC, a competitor of MBSG, in an exciting 3-2 match. With striker Tomi Juric joining the team, their attack gained a sudden, deadly appearance that caught the Red & Gold Brigade off guard.
Fascinatingly, both teams enter this match with momentum and form in their favor. When the teams last faced off in the ISL in December, the Mariners easily defeated NEUFC, but considering the situation and background, one must undoubtedly anticipate a more compelling and competitive match this time around.
In the MBSG unit, Habas and his plans are beginning to take shape gradually but steadily. They have now held clean sheets in back-to-back games this ISL season after their victory over FC Goa. The squad has amassed 26 points in the first 13 games of this ISL season despite three losses, two draws, and the head coach Juan Ferrando's dismissal.
Additionally, the eight wins they have already secured are also their greatest after the previously indicated number of games, indicating that things may not be as problematic for MBSG as they once seemed.
They exhibit an intriguing trend in their play whereby, following a period of adjustment, they settle into a rhythm. In the ISL 2023-24 season, they have scored five goals in minutes 16-30 and have not given up a goal. Despite the fact that this is the third game in a week, Habas would not want to lose out on this form, especially when playing at home, after victories over FC Goa and Hyderabad FC.
