Former champions Bengaluru FC will be looking to solidify their spot in the top four when they face bottom-placed NorthEast United FC in the 2021-22 Indian Super League (ISL). The game will take place at the PJN Stadium in Margao, Goa on Friday.

Marco Pezzaiuoli's Bengaluru FC have so far enjoyed a rich vein of form, sitting sixth in the table with 23 points after 16 games. Their nine-match unbeaten streak was snapped in a 2-1 loss to Hyderabad FC in their last outing.

The Blues are one win away from advancing to the semi-finals, while a draw keeps their position in the standings unchanged.

NorthEast United FC, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the table with only 10 points from 17 games. The Highlanders have been in a rut for quite a long time, having failed to win a single game in their last six outings.
