NorthEast United FC vs Bengaluru FC: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know

NorthEast United FC take on Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Tuesday at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco. Both teams will hope to keep their playoff aspirations alive by grabbing all three points on offer.

NorthEast United FC started their season on an impressive note with a win over current league leaders Mumbai City FC. Their second win in the campaign was over SC East Bengal.

Despite a bright start, Gerard Nus' men have not looked like a settled and comfortable side so far. They have struggled to keep the ball and have been forced to rely on individual brilliance throughout the league. They are winless in their last six ISL games and are placed 7th in the standings.

Bengaluru FC started slow and looked to have settled down as the season progressed. However, the Blues have now lost four games in a row for the first time in their club history amidst the departure of their former head coach Carles Cuadrat. The Blues are rebuilding from scratch under Naushad Moosa and are placed 6th in the standings.
