Mumbai City FC vs NorthEast United FC: MCFC vs NEUFC Dream11 team prediction fantasy football tips for today's ISL match - March 12, 2024

Mumbai City FC (MCFC) take on NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) in the fourth fixture of Matchweek 19 on Tuesday, March 12, at the Mumbai Football Arena.

The hosts are well in line to win the ISL Shield, with MBSG and Odisha FC as their main competitors. They were last involved in a 1-1 away contest against Jamshedpur FC, and while they won't be happy about dropping points, a win today should send them three points clear at the top.

This is also a crucial game for the Highlanders as they launch their own bid to make the playoffs. Currently placed ninth on the points table, they're only a point away from sixth place with a game in hand, and a positive result today puts them in contention to sneak into the top six.

Mumbai City FC vs NorthEast United FC: Dream11 fantasy suggestions

The hosts are overwhelming favorites to win this game, and picking a minimum of six players from the Islanders is necessary. Their young Indian attacking trio of Bipin Singh, Chhangte, and Vikram Pratap Singh are some of the best Dream11 options in the league, and Chhangte and Vikram Pratap are definitely must-haves.

M Ali Bemammer looks like the only must-have from NorthEast United FC, with their attacking options aside from Nestor Albiach not the most appealing. In defense, Mumbai's Rahul Bheke is essential, but the other three members of the back four are decent picks too.

Lallianzuala Chhangte, Vikram Pratap Singh and M Ali Bemammer are the best captaincy options on paper.
