As Delhi Dynamos and North East United get on to the field this evening, the sixteenth encounter of the ongoing Indian Super League promises to be a match to watch.
The team that wins today would take a leap ahead of the other in the points table.
A draw would only have little impact on the points table, but that would be least expected when they lock horns at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at 7:30 PM tonight. Watch the live streaming online on Starsports.com here.
North East United sits one spot ahead of their opponents with a marginal difference of two points.
After losing their second game against Chennaiyin FC, North East responded in a quite modest manner to clinch four points from their previous two games.
They would be having their foot on the pedal to pursue with the winning momentum gained against Mumbai City FC.
Durga Boro, the Indian forward in the North East line up, has been one of the picks among the Indian players in ISL this season.
Korean midfielder Do Dong-Hyun provides perfect support with his one-to passing for Buro and the duo could prove to be a huge threat to Delhi, if left unmarked.
Delhi Dynamos has netted more times than their opponents, albeit having a match and a win short, thanks to the 4-1 thrashing of Chennaiyin.
Yet they would be eyeing nothing less than a win as three points in their backyard could take them ahead of their opponent.
The morale within the team stands high with their victory against Chennaiyin and it would only have a boost when playing with crowd support.

Alessandro Del Piero had kept on impressing, but it’s the occasional rise of Steven Dias, Bruno Aires and Mads Junker that has boosted the confidence for the capital city squad.
Wim Raymaekers has kept away the opposition offense from finding a spot for netting the ball quite many times and can be expected to play with the same vigor against the men form North East.
While Delhi Dynamos eyes the third spot, a win for the visiting team could put them on second spot only behind league leaders Atletico de Kolkata.
