Both sides have made bad starts to the ISL season. NorthEast United FC are bottom of the table while Bengaluru FC are in ninth place. Bengaluru FC have won just three games this season while their opponents have managed to win just one game.
NorthEast United FC have broken all records when it comes to consecutive defeats. The Highlanders lost their first ten games of the season before finally managing to win their eleventh game. After gaining their first victory of the campaign, the Highlanders lost their previous game 1-6 to Hyderabad FC.
NorthEast United FC were also the first team to replace their coach this season, after Marco Balbul was sacked on December 8. Ex-Gokulam Kerala FC coach Vincenzo Alberto Annese was roped in to lead the side.
Vincenzo addressed the media ahead of his side’s clash against Bengaluru FC tomorrow. When asked for his views regarding the progress his side has made during the four games he has been in charge, Vincenzo responded:
