- East Bengal have lost all their home matches so far.
- Bengaluru have the fewest scored goals (7) in Indian Super League
It's quite the trip for Bengaluru when visiting East Bengal as the cities are 2100 kilometers apart.
This should be an exciting match with lots of action and bustle as both squads are well refreshed since they last played a game. Let's get started!
East Bengal form and stats
East Bengal have played 4 Indian Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-0-4 (wins-draws-losses). It's been an uphill battle for East Bengal in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Goa game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Stress levels are on the rise for East Bengal's attacking players as they have now played 212 minutes without scoring in a league game. Silva was their last goal scorer.
Bengal suffered an unpredictable defeat 0-3 against Mumbai City in their previous game, also played at home. East Bengal's goalkeeper Singh was extremely busy against Mumbai City, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Alex (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.8/10. Alex hit two key passes.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hyderabad (0-2).East Bengal have scored {3 league goals} here from 4 matches, not a lot. As for conceded goals, Bengal's unpleasant statistic is 10 goals surrendered.
Bengaluru form and stats
There's been little loot from Bengaluru's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Indian Super League. Bengaluru only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.
Bengaluru might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hyderabad proved too strong as Bengaluru slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (Fatorda Stadium). The attacker Chhetri got a match rating of 7.1 in that game. Chhetri hit one key pass and had 28 successful passes (of 32 total).
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Jamshedpur.Stats flash: 9 of the last 11 league games involving this club have had only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in the betting world).
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bengaluru as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Bengaluru's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 10 goals from these trips.
