Bengaluru FC will host NorthEast United at Bengaluru in ISL 2025-26
They are coming out of a 2-0 win against SC Delhi
NorthEast United suffered a 3-0 loss against East Bengal in their previous match
Bengaluru FC clash with NorthEast United in their second match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season at their home in the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on February 22, Sunday. Bengaluru FC defeated SC Delhi 2-0 in their last match to start their campaign. NorthEast United meanwhile are coming out of a 3-0 loss against East Bengal.
Head coach Renedy Singh's tenure with Bengaluru FC in the ISL 2025-26, started in a positive note. A solid defensive performance combined with goals from the evergreen Sunil Chhetri and the clinical Narayanan Sivasakthi helped the Blues secure a 2-0 win over Sporting Club Delhi. Chhetri didn't start the game and came on as a substitute later in the game. Despite that, his eye for goal helped him get his name up on the scoresheet. Playing at the fortress of Sree Kanteerava, they are historically dominant and will look to keep their clean sheet streak alive.
After a bruising 0-3 loss to East Bengal in their opener, Juan Pedro Benali faces the daunting task of rallying a squad that hasn't won an away game against the Blues since 2018. In their opener, the Highlanders were tactically sound for the first 60 minutes before a defensive collapse saw them concede three quick goals. Coach Benali has spent the week emphasizing collective defending. With Bengaluru FC boasting threats like Sunil Chhetri and Sivasakthi, the center-back pairing of Michel Zabaco and Asheer Akhtar must remain switched on for the full 90 minutes to avoid another second-half fade-out.
