Shillong Lajong vs East Bengal FC Live Streaming, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch | Durand Cup 2024

Shillong Lajong are the underdogs going into the game.

East Bengal are hoping to move forward to the 2024 Durand Cup semi-finals when they face old I-League foes Shillong Lajong in the quarter-final on Wednesday 21 August, at 7 pm at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Shillong.

Both teams had impressive outings in the group stages, with the Red & Gold Brigade hoping to show off their squad strength with a dominant performance in the knockout rounds.

East Bengal have been in impressive form in the Durand Cup and won both games comfortably. But the Kolkata heavyweights will be coming off a gutting loss in their AFC Champions League Two preliminary qualifier and hoping to use this game as an ideal bounce-back option.

Carles Cuadrat will urge his side to show their attacking strength by playing some fast-paced, incisive attacking football and putting their opponents under intense pressure.

In their return to the Durand Cup, Shillong Lajong have raised many eyebrows as the surprise package of the tournament. They topped a group containing FC Goa, even holding the Gaurs to a courageous draw to make their way to the knockout rounds.

Lajong have proven that they can compete against ISL opposition and will look to maintain their good form in the knockout rounds.

Nandhakumar Sekar has looked extremely sharp in the early stages of the campaign for East Bengal and was impressive in their recent game against Altyn Asyr.

He missed the first two Durand Cup games due to a slight injury scare but is back to full fitness and ready to push East Bengal to Durand Cup success. Nandha will look to continue being a thorn in the side of the Shillong Lajong defenders with his spirited movement down the left.

Despite being just 23 years old, Shillong Lajong forward Phrangki Buam is one of the more experienced players in their squad.

He’ll be looking to destabilize the East Bengal backline with his sharp movement in the final third and also help link up precise attacking moves. But Buam needs to be at his clinical best and convert whatever chances his teammates can conjure. If he can tap into his ruthless scoring nature, then Buam can be a major problem for East Bengal and spark his side to a special result.
