Having suffered a disappointing defeat against Jamshedpur FC, East Bengal FC will look to bounce back when they face Hyderabad FC at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Friday, January 20. Hyderabad FC will also look to get back to winning ways following a stalemate against Chennaiyin FC. The Nizams were second best for large parts of the game, but an equalizer from Bartholomew Ogbeche towards the end of the game secured them a valuable point.
However, their unbeaten run stretches to six games, and they remain within catching distance of Mumbai City FC in their race to clinch the ISL Shield. They are currently seven points behind and a victory would narrow the gap to just four.
Manolo Marquez’s side have found form at the right moment, with their talisman Ogbeche returning to form, while their defense has been hard to breach throughout their unbeaten run. Moreover, the Nizams will look to capitalize on East Bengal FC’s dismal home record to keep their shield aspirations alive.
The Red and Gold Brigade’s inconsistent patch continues. In their previous outing, Jamshedpur FC beat them by two goals to one. Stephen Constantine’s men took the lead, but the Red Miners turned it around in the second half, partly due to East Bengal FC’s poor defensive display. Additionally, the attack completely relies on Cleiton Silva to score and create chances.
Constantine will certainly hope that players around the Brazilian can contribute to the goals. A win against Hyderabad FC would see them remain ninth but would reduce the gap between themselves and sixth-placed FC Goa to five points.
