East Bengal vs Bengaluru FC Preview

Cleiton Silva’s stoppage-time goal against Hyderabad FC gave Carlos Cuadrat’s East Bengal its first win of the season. They will, however, face a stiff test away from home against Cuadrat’s previous club Bengaluru FC.

Cuadrat’s effect on East Bengal FC is evident, as the team has started the season unblemished. Given Cuadrat’s history with Bengaluru FC, this match is very important. The head coach will leave no stone unturned in order to get a positive outcome from this match.

Bengaluru FC has had a difficult start to the season, suffering two away losses. However, they have faced some formidable opponents, like Kerala Blasters and, more recently, Mohun Bagan.

Last season, Simon Grayson’s team finished runners-up, and back-to-back defeats are not how they would have like to begin this season. They’ll be looking for their first win at home against East Bengal.

After their Asian Games campaign, BFC will welcome back skipper Sunil Chhetri and attacker Rohit Danu. They’ll most likely be rested before being reintroduced to the starting XI.
