The battle of the bottom two in ISL 2022-23 takes us to Guwahati as NorthEast United FC prepare to go head-to-head with Jamshedpur FC on Saturday, February 4.
Both clubs will be playing for pride as their playoff hopes have already diminished following underwhelming campaigns with less than a quarter of the season left.
Jamshedpur, the reigning ISL Shield winners, have procured just nine points from 16 games. Meanwhile, the Highlanders have bagged one draw and one victory from 16 games.
Five points separate the two sides, but it is all but confirmed that Jamshedpur FC and NorthEast United FC will occupy the final two spots in the ISL 2022-23 table.
Aidy Boothroyd's men narrowly edged their opponents 1-0 in the reverse fixture on October 30, thanks to a solitary goal from former defender Peter Hartley. It won't be a surprise if the Red Miners repeat that result on Saturday.
