Only two teams among FC Goa, Hyderabad FC and NorthEast United can fill in the two remaining 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) semi-finals' spots after Mumbai City and ATK Mohun Bagan confirmed their berths earlier in the season.
With the final round of games amid the race to finish in the top four, the Gaurs (30 points) are slightly in an advantage given that they have more points than Hyderabad (28) and currently a better goal difference against NorthEast United.
NorthEast United (4th, 30 points) drew level on points with Goa courtesy a 2-1 win over East Bengal on Tuesday as the Highlanders now need just a point from their last game against Kerala Blasters on Friday, while Hyderabad are left in a must-win situation when they face Goa on Sunday.
