Tomorrow's match will also decide the ranking of the teams who qualified for the play-offs and hence who takes on whom in the semifinals. The top-ranked team will face the fourth-placed side of the league phase while the second-placed will take on the third. On the other hand, NorthEast United, who are currently at fifth position with 18 points from 13 matches, will need to win tomorrow to make it to the semifinals. As the game develops, the consequences will become apparent but certainly at the start, we are going in to win, trying to win. Kerala have been strong at home, winning four matches in a row while their away performance has been patchy.
