This has been a season to forget for the red and gold brigade, who once again failed to live up to expectations as they did in their first season in the ISL. East Bengal is currently at the bottom of the standings with just 11 points after 19 games. The Kolkata club has so far only been successful in winning one game.
‘Even though the results of my term weren’t outstanding, there was definitely a change. We became more at ease with the ball, improved at connecting passes, and created a lot of opportunities ‘ said head coach Mario Rivera.
Renedy Singh completed his role as temporary coach before Jose Manuel Diaz and Rivera took over midway through the game. ‘The young guys will get some playing time tomorrow, I hope. They’ve been working hard and deserve some time, ‘ he added
Ananta Tamang, a defender from Nepal, might be seen in action on Saturday. He joined SC East Bengal in the January transfer window to fill Tomislav Mrcela’s Asian quota. ‘Although Ananta Tamang will be on the roster, it is uncertain whether he will play.

A sixth-place result for Bengaluru appears likely, but the former champions do not have their sights set on going two years in a row without placing in the top four. Before their most recent game, in which they were defeated by ATK Mohun Bagan, they were in contention.
The Blues have 19 wins and 26 points. ‘Although we’ve accomplished a lot, the most crucial goal was to place in the top four, which we failed to do. We adjusted our playing style, developed young players who weren’t on the field last season, ‘ Marco Pezzaiuoli, the head coach, remarked.
The defending champions enjoyed a successful start to the season with 5 victories in their first 6 games. At that point, everyone thought that they would be the overwhelming favorites to retain the league shield and possibly even win the championship. The only team they lost against in their first six games was Hyderabad (3-1). Their first game against the Kerala Blasters, nevertheless, completely derailed their season. They easily lost, falling behind 3-0. They lost their subsequent six games, dropping them from first place in the standings after that defeat.
After more than a month at the top, a severely weakened Hyderabad team lost badly to Jamshedpur FC in their penultimate game, dropping them to third place. Hyderabad will want to get back to winning after missing Bart Ogbeche and a number of other players in the previous game in order to stay in the race for first place.
