Preview
Bengaluru FC look to start off their campaign on a positive note when they face Northeast United on Saturday.
The hosts aim to improve from last season after they finished 7th in the league table with just 22 points from 20 matches.
After missing out on the playoffs by a massive margin last time, the formidable side are hopeful to repeat the heroics of the 2018-19 season.
On the other hand, Northeast United finished 3rd last season with 33 points from 20 matches to seal a semi-final spot.
But the Northeast side missed out on a berth in the final as they lost to ATK Mohun Bagan 3-2 on aggregate as their dreams crashed.
The visitors will look to repeat last season’s performances and do well in this season as well as they aim to go one step further this time.
Both sides met last season in January 2021, where it finished 1-1 in Goa during the league match.
