Both teams have made excellent starts to their campaign in the current edition of the ISL, with the Dynamos starting off with a 3-1 win against defending champions Chennaiyin FC in their opening match before playing a goalless draw against Kerala Blasters FC to be placed fourth in the league standings with four points from two matches.
NorthEast United enjoy great support in Delhi and Zambrotta feels that it's important for the home fans to match up to their opponents.
"Of course, we need the Delhi supporters and I am handing them a special invitation to attend. We need their support. In Kerala we played the last match in front of 60,000 supporters and it was not intimidating. For the players, it's encouraging to play in front of a nice atmosphere," the Italian World Cup winner said.
