ISL 2023-24: Punjab FC vs East Bengal – Build-up

Permutations and combinations are the talk of the town in the ISL 2023-24 at this moment. With an eye on the Chennaiyin FC vs NorthEast United game, East Bengal are preparing high for their final league stage clash of the season – against Punjab FC.

The Shers are no longer in the race to qualify for the playoffs. However, Staikos Vergetis’ side have a lot to be proud for as they punched above their weight in their first-ever ISL season. Punjab will hope to end their season on a high note with a big win to dampen East Bengal’s chances.

They don’t really have much to lose here with their playoff hopes dashed and can definitely take risks with a more attack-minded approach and harassing the visitors with constant attacks. A win can secure a top-10 finish for Punjab FC and also help them finish as high as eighth place if things go in their favour.

East Bengal have picked up their form at the right time to remain in the fray for a place in the playoffs. Carles Cuadrat’s side has to treat this like a must-win final, play with a positive and attack-minded approach, as well as be defensively strong.

Considering that any hopes of a playoff finish will be dashed in case of a loss, and a draw also being just as bad, the Red & Gold Brigade can’t afford to take a risk-free approach. The tactician needs to push his players forward, urge them to play on the front foot and pile bodies up front in the look for a big win to end their league campaign with a bang.
