NorthEast United FC will take on Bengaluru FC in the second game of Matchweek 14 of the Hero Indian Super League 22/23 on Friday (January 6) at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati.

Both teams are deep in the bottom half of the standings. While NorthEast United finally managed to get some points on the board with a home win over ATK Mohun Bagan, they're coming off a 6-1 thrashing at Hyderabad FC.

Meanwhile, Bengaluru will look to snap out of a two-game losing streak, the latest of which was a 2-1 defeat at East Bengal FC. The reverse fixture saw Bengaluru FC beat the Highlanders 1-0.

NorthEast United FC vs Bengaluru FC Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions

This could be a close game, with both teams not having the best run of form this season. Considering they beat ATK Mohun Bagan at home a couple of weeks ago, it wouldn't be wise to completely write off NorthEast United.

Considering the lack of nailed-on options in defence, I mostly have the same players in both my suggestions, with Gaurav Bora, Namgyal Bhutia, and Aaron Evans in both teams. Javier Hernandez, Wilmar Gil and Roy Krishna are the other players to make both suggestions.

The in-form Javier Hernandez and Wilmar Gil would be my first-choice captaincy options in this game.
