East Bengal FC vs Al-Seeb Live: Confirmed lineups & pre-match updates for AFC Champions League Two 2026-27 clash
East Bengal hope to secure their first win of the 2026-27 AFC Champions League Two campaign when they host Oman side Al-Seeb at Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata, on Tuesday (3 November 2026).
With both sides yet to win in the group stages, this upcoming clash will be a tightly contested fixture where the two will fight to get the better of each other and finally get a win on the board.
The Stakes
East Bengal
East Bengal FC are set to host the Omani side.To their credit, East Bengal have showcased admirable grit in their 2026-27 AFC Champions League Two matches so far. The Torchbearers have only suffered one loss, but the two draws have left a bitter aftertaste because of the major chances that they had to win.
Antonio Habas will definitely demand more ruthlessness from his players in their remaining ACL Two matches if they are to get past the group stages.
East Bengal will, of course, have to push hard to win duels and be defensively solid against Al-Seeb. However, a bigger priority for them is to be innovative in the attack and finish off chances clinically to outwit the opposition players.
A win for East Bengal will give a major boost to their hopes of securing a top-two place in their group, but dropping points again can see their knockout hopes badly damaged.
Al-Seeb
Al-Seeb looks to gain winning points in the away clash.Al-Seeb have pretty much underperformed in the 2026-27 AFC Champions League Two group stages so far, only managing one point from three games and scoring zero goals. They need a remarkable turnaround in their fortunes to have any chance of making it past the group stages this time around.
The Oman side will need to be as defensively solid as they were in the last game to frustrate East Bengal at their own yard and keep their threat neutralised.
However, the bigger priority for Al-Seeb will be to improve their work in the final third. They have to be much more creative in delivering quality passes into the danger zones and for their players to finish them off cleverly too.
A possible win for Al-Seeb will be a huge momentum booster for them, but another loss would basically end their hopes of making it into the next rounds.
Team News
Naorem Mahesh Singh and Mohamed Rakip are the major injury absentees for East Bengal.
