Sun Dec 08 15:28:49 UTC 2024: ## ISL Returns to Guwahati: NorthEast United Faces Top-Ranked Mohun Bagan in Crucial Clash
**Guwahati, India (December 7, 2024)** – The Indian Super League (ISL) returns to Guwahati on December 8th after a lengthy absence, as NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) hosts league leaders Mohun Bagan Super Giant in a highly anticipated match. The Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium will witness this pivotal encounter, marking the first ISL game in the city since November 3rd.
NEUFC, currently in the top six, aims to rebound from a recent loss and avenge an earlier defeat to Mohun Bagan. While boasting their best start in years, inconsistency and defensive frailties remain concerns for Juan Pedro Benali’s team. Key midfielder Mohammed Ali Bemammer will miss the game due to suspension. Despite this, Spanish midfielder Nestor Albiach, NEUFC’s second-highest scorer with four goals, will be a crucial factor in their attack.
Mohun Bagan, riding high on confidence with only one defeat this season, arrives in Guwahati as firm favorites. Their potent attack, spearheaded by Greg Stewart (league-leading five assists and a prolific record against NEUFC), and solid defense make them a formidable opponent. However, they will be without Subhasish Bose and Alberto Rodríguez due to accumulated yellow cards.
The match promises excitement, with both teams possessing attacking flair and key players to watch. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM IST, and the game will be broadcast live on Sports18 Network and streamed on JioCinema (India) and OneFootball (International).
