Guwahati, Jan 9 (UNI) NorthEast United FC will host Punjab FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) match on Friday at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium here.
The Highlanders had clinched a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season and have a chance to do a double over an opponent for the first time since 2020-21 when they had recorded similar results against Mumbai City FC and East Bengal FC.
For Punjab FC, this match is an opportunity to avoid a fifth consecutive loss, with their recent form arguably undoing the good run of outcomes they had been on, at the start of the campaign.
