Northeast United v Mumbai City Betting Tips [27 December 2021]

NorthEast United host Mumbai City on Matchday eight of the Indian Super League at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda. The hosts are ninth in the league standings with seven points from the first eight games while the visitors sit at the top of the table with fifteen points from their first eight fixtures, which is more than double the points earned by the hosts. NorthEast United have been riddled with squad injuries and are struggling to win games. They put up a valiant effort against ATK Mohun Bagan in their last league game and ended up losing 3-2. They have lost three out of their last four games and are struggling at the moment.

Mumbai City come into the game with a shock defeat to Kerala Blasters with a 3-0 scoreline. However, the visitors will hope that the Kerala Blasters defeat was just a flash in the pan and continue their great run of form. They have won four out of their last five matches and look firm favourites at the moment to win the league shield for the second time in a row by the end of the season. It is also to be noted that Mumbai City have won seven out of the fourteen meetings between the two sides.

While NorthEast United have shown signs of recovery after hitting a slump, they will find it difficult to go past a high flying Mumbai City side. We are backing Mumbai City to lead at both half time and full time in this fixture.
