SC East Bengal vs Jamshedpur FC: Building up

Getting off the mark with three points in your season’s first match is important for any team. It sends out a message to your competitors, almost as a sign of intent. After their dismal season that saw them finish at the ninth spot in the league table, SC East Bengal would want to go back to the winning ways from the get-go. Their unblemished pre-season, where they did not lose a single friendly should provide the important momentum to give the side the edge.

It is now up to Diaz and his coaching staff to field the right mix of players for them to get a positive result on the day.

Ahead of his second season as the head coach of Jamshedpur, Owen Coyle made sure to bring in players that suit his style of play. With a balanced team like his, there should be no excuses for Jamshedpur FC to not turn up in a big match like this. If the side wants to break the streak of never making it to the playoffs, they need to start that journey from Sunday itself.

Since SC East Bengal joined the ISL only last season, the two teams have only played each other twice so far in the league. Their first meeting ended in a goalless stalemate while the reverse fixture saw the Red and Gold Brigade come out victorious in a 2-1 win.
