In their last AFC Champions League 2 match, East Bengal FC blew a 2-1 lead at home to Al-Shorta. The Torchbearers conceded twice in the second half, despite David Lalhlansanga scoring a first half brace. Al-Shorta scored in the 50th & 52nd minute of the game to defeat East Bengal 2-3 at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.

On the other hand, Al-Seeb have faced results worse than that of East Bengal FC. The Oman club lost their previous game to Al-Hussein 0-3 at home. Al-Seeb have lost both of their AFC Champions League Two matches so far.
The Stakes
Al-Seeb Club
Al-Seeb are yet to score a point in the 2026-27 AFC Champions League Two so far.Al-Seeb have had a pretty poor start to their 2026-27 AFC Champions League Two, having suffered defeats in both their opening matches so far. They’re now far behind the top-two places in the group and need to mark a bit of a stunning turnaround in their remaining fixtures to be able to have a chance of making it to the knockout stages.
The Oman giants will need to be way more prolific against East Bengal as compared to what they’ve been like in the last few matches in the continental competition. They also need to hold together a sturdier defensive shape to keep the visitors at bay and lower their goal threat.
A win for Al-Seeb will be a much-needed morale-booster for the players, but another loss or even a draw at home could further deplete their confidence levels.
East Bengal FC
East Bengal FC are yet to win a game in their 2026-27 AFC Champions League Two campaign.East Bengal suffered a frustrating loss in their recent clash at the AFC Champions League Two clash, but they have picked up momentum since. After a thrilling start to their 2026-27 Indian Super League (ISL) campaign, the Red & Gold Brigade will look to try and get their first win in the continental competition against Al-Seeb.
Antonio Habas needs his players to maintain their element of surprise in these matches, nailing their transitions and swift movement chances to trouble the Al-Seeb defenders. They will, of course, focus on keeping a compact defensive shape, but this game is one where East Bengal will look to play on the front foot, create many major chances and score goals.
A win on the road for East Bengal will do wonders to further improve their confidence levels, but another loss or draw can cause frustrations to creep up.

Al-Seeb are expected to have a fully fit squad at their disposal for this upcoming clash.
Naorem Mahesh Singh remains the major absentee in the East Bengal squad, while Mohamad Rakip is also recovering from an injury.
