The stage is set for the AFC Challenge League group stage opener, as East Bengal will face hosts Paro FC at the Changlimithang Stadium. The Kolkata outfit is clearly struggling, with no form in their favour and having lost their first six games of the ongoing ISL 2024-25 season. On the other hand, Paro FC is riding high, recently winning their fourth consecutive Bhutan Premier League title, which gives them momentum and an edge over the visitors. It is certainly not going to be easy for East Bengal, who have lost eight matches in a row across all competitions. It will be interesting to see how Oscar Bruzon’s men perform.
