There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the I-League table so far. Here's the TRAU - East Bengal latest:
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
TRAU form and stats
TRAU have played 5 I-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-0 (wins-draws-losses).
TRAU haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 308 minutes ago. K. K. Singh scored that one.
The spoils were shared in TRAU's previous game, also at home. Visiting Chennai City (placed 8th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as TRAU lost 0-2 at Aizawl's place.
O. Emeka felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Chennai City as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 13th minute.
TRAU has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. TRAU are not conceding a lot of goals here at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
East Bengal form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (11) away in I-League, on their I-League travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Momentum is building for East Bengal in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
East Bengal play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Arrows (placed 11th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Minerva Punjab.
The travelling fans enjoy East Bengal's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 6 league matches away. East Bengal have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
