An important duel in the bottom section of the Indian Super League, with both East Bengal and Odisha FC experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 11th place.
- East Bengal has the most conceded goals (13) in Indian Super League
- Odisha FC is in the worst form (0-2-4)
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.
It's quite the trip for Odisha FC when visiting Bengal as the cities are 1400 kilometers apart.
East Bengal form and stats
East Bengal have played three Indian Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With eight home Indian Super League games in a row without a win, the Bengal fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the TRAU game long ago, can be stopped today.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Chennaiyin in the Indian Super League last time out and are looking for a win here. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Kerala Blasters the opponent.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Bengal, as the Indian Super League home game vs Goa is only three days away.
Bengal have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, East Bengal have conceded 4 goals.
Odisha FC form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Indian Super League for Odisha FC, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Indian Super League, with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Odisha has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Odisha's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus NorthEast United that finished 2-2. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Bengaluru.
Odisha FC has another fixture away, a Indian Super League game, against Kerala Blasters in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Odisha FC when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Odisha struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
