Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium: NorthEast United FC will host Hyderabad FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, here on Wednesday with one eye on cementing their position in the top-six in the points table.

NorthEast United FC are currently sixth in the points table, with 25 points from 17 matches, having won six games and drawn seven. Hyderabad FC, on the other hand, are placed at the penultimate spot with 13 points from 17 matches, with three wins and four draws. The Highlanders are facing stiff competition from Odisha FC (24), Kerala Blasters FC (21), and Punjab FC (20), who follow them respectively in the standings.
