East Bengal FC will be hosting NorthEast United FC at home today at 7:30 PM (IST). Both the teams will be desperate to secure all 3 points and end the season on a high.
The Torchbearers will have an edge coming into this fixture after their morale-boosting 1-0 win against Kerala Blasters FC at the Salt Lake Stadium last week. Cleiton Silva once again rose to the occasion and powered his side to a victory with a goal.
The Brazilian forward is now the joint-highest goal-scorer in ISL and has 10 goals under his belt. V.P. Suhair and Mobashir Rahman will be serving suspensions after an accumulation of yellow cards and will not be available for this fixture.
In October when the two sides met in the reverse fixture, East Bengal FC emerged out victorious with a fascinating 3-1 victory over the Highlanders. Cleiton Silva, Charis Kyriacou and Jordan O’Doherty had found the back of the net for the away side.
In this article, we take a look at the history and statistics between the two clubs in ISL:
