Season ticket holders at Tilak Maidan Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with East Bengal languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Bengaluru will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- East Bengal has the most conceded goals in the second half (13) in Indian Super League
- Bengaluru is in the worst form (0-3-3)
East Bengal have less rest than Bengaluru in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Indian Super League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Goa, so at least East Bengal are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
East Bengal form and stats
With 1 Indian Super League win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, East Bengal are certainly not brimming with confidence.
East Bengal drew their last game, 1-1 away at Goa (placed 3rd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Mumbai City (0-1).
Anthony Pilkington felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Goa as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 2nd minute.
The Bengal fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Bengal have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Bengaluru form and stats
The visitors are W2-D3-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Indian Super League.
Bengaluru has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Hyderabad for a Indian Super League game that ended a draw (2-2). A draw for Bengaluru before that, at their own venue hosting Odisha FC (1-1).
It looked so good for Bengaluru vs Hyderabad, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
After this away game Bengaluru return home for a Indian Super League game against Chennaiyin. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Bengaluru are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Bengaluru have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Bengaluru - Bengal 0-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - zero - four (Bengal wins - draws - Bengaluru wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
