Mohun Bagan Super Giant are all set to host NorthEast United FC at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata to kick off the Saturday double header of the ISL 2023-24 on February 17 at 5 p.m. The Mariners are coming into this fixture after ending FC Goa's unstoppable streak in the league, that too in Fatorda. Antonio Lopez Habas would like to continue that impressive run when they welcome the Highlanders on Saturday.

Slowly but effectively, Habas and his tactics are working in MBSG. With their win against FC Goa, they have now kept clean sheets in consecutive matches for the first time in this ISL season. Mohun Bagan are sitting at the third spot in the points table, accumulating 26 points in the first 13 games of this ISL season. They will have to chance to climb up the second spot if they manage to register a victory against the Highlanders.

On the other hand, NorthEast United are coming into the game after beating East Bengal FC in a thrilling 3-2 encounter in Guwahati last Saturday. NEUFC holds a good goal-scoring record against MBSG, having found the back of the net at least once in each of their previous eight fixtures. A win against the Mariners here will help them secure consecutive wins in the ISL for the first time since January 2021.

Both sides are heading into this contest with the winning momentum and some good form. The Mariners beat the Highlanders 3-1 when they last met in the ISL in December but this time, it can be a competitive contest, given the situation.
