Bengaluru FC vs SC East Bengal: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know

As far as SC East Bengal are concerned, they were winless in their first seven games of the season. Their first win came against Odisha FC before they played a draw against FC Goa. Robbie Fowler's side are slowly improving as the games come thick and fast, and are currently ninth on the table.
