FC Goa vs East Bengal: Build-up

FC Goa earned a good win at home against Kerala Blasters to end their four-game winless run. The win consolidated the side’s presence among the top six as it took them to 23 points from 15 games. Playing their consecutive home game, the club will be keen for another win to build some momentum going into the business end of the league.

In their last game, East Bengal lost 2-0 to Hyderabad in Kolkata. On Thursday, it is expected that the side will be eyeing a win that has been elusive for the last three games. Any chance to finish among the top six is virtually over for the side from Kolkata. Hence, the club has nothing to lose and will be eyeing as many wins as possible from their remaining games.

FC Goa are currently placed fifth with 23 points from 15 games. A win will take them to 26 points, ahead of fourth-placed ATK Mohun Bagan by two points, who will have two more games in hand.

East Bengal are currently placed ninth with 12 points from 14 games. The side has won only four matches and lost all of the remaining 10. A win will take them to 15 points but it will not change their position on the table.
