3rd position in the I-League table for Real Kashmir so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 4th-placed East Bengal visits TRC Polo Synthetic Turf Ground.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike East Bengal's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artifical turf have ended in 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

East Bengal have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

East Bengal are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
