ISLW

Matchweek 13 was packed with excitement and surprises, as vital wins kept many teams firmly on course in the league.

Alaaeddine Ajaraie's NorthEast United FC will not feature in the upcoming Matchweek, while Jamshedpur FC make their return to action.

Expect Goals and Expected Goals Against is a metric that gives an indication of how efficient teams have been at either ends of the pitch.

Four of the six matches in Matchweek 8 ended in draws, with key results that helped teams keep their campaigns on track.

Matchweek 7 saw 4.5 goals per game with five teams scoring three or more times in a single match.

After seven seasons with FC Goa, Fernandes will face his former club for the first time on Saturday, donning the Mumbai City FC jersey.

A total of 69 goals have been scored in the first four matchweeks where just one team has managed to keep a perfect record and just one more being unbeaten. 

A total of 21 goals were scored across these matches, with no goalless draws, highlighting the competitiveness of the action.

A total of 17 goals were scored in six matches in the first matchweek of the season

The clash between the Mariners and the Islanders has become ISL’s big-ticket fixture with the two teams winning the majority of the silverware on offer in the last four seasons.

Teams have once again focused on strengthening their midfielders which has resulted in the ISL having some of the best midfielders on show in 2024-25.

While the teams have invested heavily in bolstering their attacks in the summer, the rearguard is going to be equally important for teams to fulfil their ambitions.
