SC East Bengal vs FC Goa: Building up

In only their second season in India’s top-flight, the Red and Gold Brigade are yet to announce themselves to the others. It has been quite a task for their new head coach Manolo Diaz to find the right mix of players. After last season’s performance, fans of the club were hoping things would start afresh this time around. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case – at least so far. The Kolkata-based side secured a hard-fought point against Chennaiyin FC. This came after enduring two heavy defeats against arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan and Odisha FC.

Naming the right starting XI will be key to winning the match for SC East Bengal. Diaz will be hoping that his team gets off the mark against FC Goa.

In terms of last season’s performance, FC Goa’s story is completely different when compared with a team like SC East Bengal. Achieving a fourth place finish, doing well in AFC Champions League (ACL) 2021 and winning the prestigious Durand Cup was quite a successful campaign for the Goan team. They were deemed one of the favourites ahead of the 2021-22 season, but the opinion didn’t take long to change. Juan Ferrando’s team are yet to register a single point this season.

Three losses on the trot surely must have impacted the team’s morale, but that can only make them hungrier against SC East Bengal.
