East Bengal FC Team News
Suhair VP and Mahesh Singh have been impressive on either flank for East Bengal FC this season, despite the team's poor position on the table. The duo has made an impact at times, contributing ten goals in ten matches.
Cleiton Silva is the club's leading goal-scorer this season with five goals in ten matches. The Brazilian striker scored the winning goal against Bengaluru FC in the reverse fixture and Cleiton will look to score another against his former club when the two teams next meet.
Stephen Constantine, head coach of the Torch Bearers said, "The goal is to get three points. This is the target in every match. We want to win every match we play and I think that's normal. We fight, and sometimes, it's good enough."
"Three wins in ten matches is not enough, but we have assessed the performance so far and the players are working hard in training. We just need to be patient as we are on the right track."
Bengaluru FC Team News
For Bengaluru, Javi Hernandez has been the top-scorer with 3 goals, while the main forwards Roy Krishna and Sunil Chhetri have scored just two goals between each other.
Simon Grayson's Blues have won just one of their six matches so far. However, their next opponents have the worst home record in the league as they have lost all four of their home matches this season.
"At the moment, we're trying to win the next game regardless of who we're playing because we don't like where we are on the table. The aim is to get back-to-back wins, which we've not been able to achieve, because that's something I think can give us confidence," Grayson said at the pre-match press confidence.
