Fifth-placed Goa will take on East Bengal in the Super League next as the two sides meet in the 16th game week of the competition. The home side could move to the third spot if other fixtures favour them, as they sit on 23 points from the nine wins and draws from 15 games played in 2022-23. East Bengal have not drawn a single game since the season began, losing ten of their 14 games played as they arrive as underwhelming underdogs in this clash.
It becomes even tougher for the away side when we look at Goa’s home record of five wins from seven games played. Fortunately for the East Indian side, they have played much better away from home than in their own backyard, as three of their only four wins have come on away turf this season.

Goa vs East Bengal Prediction
Goa are very much in the driving seat for this one, given their success at this ground in addition to East Bengal’s three-game losing streak. Both sides have been defensively shambolic this year though, with no clean sheets in their last six games played. But, with Goa also proving to be a force offensively, they have gone on to score just over two goals alone in their seven games played at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the ISL this season. We thus would bet on Goa winning this with over 2.5 goals being scored.
Goa vs East Bengal Head-To-Head
The head-to-head records are slightly inclined in favour of Goa. The Gaurs have won two of the previous five league meetings against East Bengal, with the Torchbearers winning on only one occasion. The other two fixtures ended in a stalemate.
The first meeting of this season, which took place way back in October, resulted in a 2-1 victory for Goa. Brandon Fernandes and Edu Bedia were on target for Pena’s team, while from Constantine’s side, Cleiton Silva was the lone scorer.

Goa vs East Bengal Team News
FC Goa coach Carlos Pena has rued Goa’s defensive falters this season, and it also recently resulted in the club dropping points against Northeast United, the weakest side in the ISL this year. Pena recently spoke to the club’s official website, “It was disappointing because today was a day to get three points, if we had dominated both the boxes then it was a day to get all three points.
Though East Bengal would like to count on every first-team player as they play one of the biggest teams in the competition, away from home, there is one player who might have to make a late fitness call.
