East Bengal FC is eager to put behind their recent away defeats and finally secure their first points of the Indian Super League 2024-25 season. They return to the familiar grounds of the Salt Lake Stadium on Friday, hosting a tough opponent in FC Goa. The red and gold brigade are coming off a disappointing trip to the South, where they narrowly lost to Bengaluru FC (0-1) and Kerala Blasters FC (1-2). A win in front of their home supporters is crucial for East Bengal, who have been consistently underperforming since joining the league earlier in the decade. They need a strong performance to turn things around and improve their fortunes this season.
However, the task won’t be easy. They face FC Goa, one of the league’s heavyweights, boasting a strong track record against East Bengal with five wins in their eight ISL meetings. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams vying for a crucial victory.
East Bengal will be looking to their key players to deliver. Their lineup is expected to include Gill (GK), Rakip, Anwar, Yuste, Zothanpuia; Jeakson, Souvik, Talal; Vishnu, Nandhakumar, and Diamantakos.
FC Goa, on the other hand, will be relying on their experienced players to guide them to victory. Their anticipated lineup features Kattimani (GK); Udanta, Odei, Dorjee, Gupta; Borges, Borja; Boris, Drazic, Brison; and Sadiku.
