NEUFC vs KBFC live: Kerala vs NorthEast preview 

NorthEast United FC have had an upturn in fortunes since the franchise hired Khalid Jamil as head coach. The Highlanders are unbeaten in their last eight games, accumulating 18 points in the same period to launch themselves into playoff contention. NorthEast just need a point on Friday to seal their place in the top four and ensure their second-ever appearance in the knockout phase. The Guwahati based outfit settled for a 2-1 win against East Bengal last time out and will look to close out their campaign on a high with a win over the struggling Blasters.

Kerala have had a forgetful campaign so far, and find themselves languishing at second from the bottom in the ISL standings. Since their win over Bengaluru FC, the Men in Yellow are winless in their last seven games with four draws and three defeats. The Blasters are out of the playoffs reckoning but will hope to spoil NorthEast United's part with a win on Friday, and their disappointing campaign on a winning note.

NEUFC vs KBFC match prediction

NorthEast United are clear favourites for the clash at Tilak Maidan and should get all three points on Friday. Blasters have their back against the wall in this one and will have to work very hard to shrug off their recent mediocre results. Our prediction is that the Highlanders will win the tie of 2-0.
