TEAMS PREVIEW

East Bengal Preview

We felt their season had hit a stumbling block after their loss to Odisha, with so many injuries and players missing due to suspensions. But all those who questioned them now have eggs on their faces after their surprise victory over a quality Punjab squad that had all the momentum heading into the second half, leading 2-0. 

Halftime pep talks can often make or break a game, and for coach Oscar Bruno, it was the former. Frustrated by his team’s lacklustre first-half performance and the silence of the home crowd, Bruno delivered a fiery speech during the break.

“I elevated the tone at halftime,” he later admitted. “It’s a shame to play at home with all the supporters and not even hear them shout. The problem wasn’t tactical or about missing the foreigners—it was about belief, courage, and attitude.” That and the introduction of Vishnu Puthiya in the second half changed the course of the match.

Stats That Matter

East Bengal has had a challenging season, accumulating six red cards, the most of any team. Despite this, Vishnu Puthiya has emerged as their top scorer with three goals. Interestingly, East Bengal has found success in the latter part of the first half, scoring 25% of their goals between the 31st and 45th minutes.

East Bengal FC are ranked 8th in ball possession with 47.8%. They average 12.4 shots and 3.8 corners per game. Vishnu PV is the top scorer with 3 goals this season. David Lalhlansanga and Dimitris Diamantakos have also scored 2 goals each. On the defensive side, the team makes an average of 17.9 clearances and 3.1 saves per game, the 7th best in the season. They have managed 13 tackles and 7.6 interceptions but conceded 1.45 goals per game.

Team News - Thaunaojam, who missed the game against Punjab due to suspension, will be expected to return back into the playing 11 on Saturday. 

East Bengal Probable XI - Gill(GK), Lalchungnunga, Maher, Yuste, Rakip, Chakrabarti, Vishnu Puthiya, Naorem, Thounaojam,  C Silva, Lalhlansanga. 

Jamshedpur FC Preview

In a less dramatic way compared to their rivals, the Jamshedpur FC had triumphed over Punjab, even though they needed a late goal in the 84th minute of the game. Despite the late goal, their dominance was evident throughout, controlling 52.3% of possession and taking 14 shots compared to Punjab’s nine. 

Their precision shone through with a 70% pass completion rate, while their 19 crosses kept the visitors on the defensive. The win propelled the Red Miners level with fifth-placed Punjab on 18 points, and an opportunity to break into the top four. 

Javi Siverio may not have been a regular on the scoresheet earlier this season, with just one goal in his first nine appearances, but he's been a game-changer of late. The Spanish striker has netted three times in the last two outings, including a match-winning brace in Jamshedpur's 2-1 victory. Both goals showcased his poacher instincts—sharp, clinical, and exactly what was needed to pierce through East Bengal's defense. 

Stats that matter

With 21 goals conceded, Jamshedpur has the second-worst defensive record in the league this season. Their xGA of 2 overall and 1.96 away from home highlights their defensive struggles, with the worst xGA in the league. Jamshedpur has struggled on the road, winning only 1 out of 4 away matches and suffering 3 defeats.

EAST BENGAL vs JAMSHEDPUR FC
Winning Prediction

East Bengal has shed its old image as pushovers, reinventing itself with a strong run of form in recent matches. They have secured three wins in their last five outings, with two of those victories coming at home. In contrast, Jamshedpur has struggled on the road, and facing a resurgent East Bengal side brimming with confidence will pose a tough challenge for the Red Miners.

Jamshedpur can draw some confidence from their recent record against East Bengal, having lost only once in the last five encounters. This solid history could provide the Red Miners with the belief they need to face a rejuvenated East Bengal side. East Bengal is favored to win with odds of 1.97, while Jamshedpur's odds are at 3.48 and a draw is priced at 3.92. As a result, we would like to place our bets on East Bengal as well.
