Bengaluru vs NorthEast United Prediction 24.12.2023

• Competition: India ISL
• Date: 24.12.2023
• Kickoff: 12:00 UK / 13:00 CET
• Venue: Sree Kanteerava Stadium (Bangalore)

Bengaluru’s current season isn’t going as planned, with their ambitions set much higher. Their performance, with only 2 wins out of 11 matches, indicates something isn’t right. A potential morale boost for the next part of the season could come from a win against Jamshedpur, a team they recently surpassed to secure the 9th position in the table. This would be Bengaluru’s first win since their October 4 victory over East Bengal.

Bengaluru is set to play their second consecutive match at home against NorthEast Utd. Both clubs have accumulated the same number of points so far, with Bengaluru having played one match fewer. NorthEast Utd hasn’t tasted victory in the ISL league since their October 26 win against Jamshedpur, which continues to be one of the bottom-ranked teams. In their last match, NorthEast Utd suffered a home defeat against Mohun Bagan, losing 3-1.

Bengaluru vs NorthEast Utd pick: BENGALURU TO WIN

Predicting the final winner when two underperforming teams from the lower half of the table meet can be quite challenging. However, factors such as team quality, budget, and tradition can be considered. In the past, Bengaluru has won against NorthEast United 5 times in the last 7 matches at this stadium, usually creating many opportunities and maintaining high ball possession. In contrast, NorthEast’s defense has been increasingly vulnerable, as evidenced by the 5 goals they conceded in their last away game against East Bengal. Thus, it’s probable they could concede 2 or perhaps 3 goals in this match. Our main prediction for this match-up is a win for Bengaluru.
