Eyeing the top spot in the pecking order, Delhi Dynamos will be at home, literally as well on form, when they host the beleaguered NorthEast United in their Indian Super League (ISL) football match here tomorrow.
With four wins from six appearances, the Dynamos are comfortably placed at the second position, while two victories from as many outings have seen the Highlanders struggling at the seventh place.
Dynamos' performance has been in stark contrast to NorthEast United's struggle in the second edition of the franchise-based eight-team league.
Another win against Cesar Farias' outfit, whose has been a similar story as last season, and the hosts will grasp the number one position.
Under the guidance of Brazilian World Cup winner, Roberto Carlos, Dynamos, after a string of away fixtures, will finally return to their home turf Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium.
Having started their campaign on a sour note -- a 0-2 defeat to FC Goa -- Dynamos went on a winning spree in the next games on the road before the run was snapped up, surprisingly, by sixth-placed Mumbai City FC.
They found their touch back in the next game, eking out a 1-0 win over defending champions Atletico de Kolkata to justify the tag of being one of the firm favourites this season.
While their success rate has been impressive, what Dynamos would like to improve is their low average when it comes to scoring goals. They have managed to score just five times so far.
The likes of former French star Florent Malouda, Brazilian Gustavo Dos Santos, Hans Mulder and Robin Singh would be itching to use the match against NorthEast United to find their scoring touch and regain confidence ahead of the tougher battles.
