FC Goa will take on SC East Bengal in the 65th match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22 on Wednesday, 19th January 2022 at the GMC Athletic Stadium, Bambolim.
FC Goa were seen as one of the ISL teams to look out for but haven’t lived up to expectations. The Gaurs are placed ninth in the ISL points table, having won three games while losing and drawing four each.
The team, however, is undefeated in its previous three games after playing out a 1-1 draw with NorthEast United FC in its last match. A win in this game against SC East Bengal would see the Gaurs climb the table to fifth spot.
Meanwhile, SC East Bengal are the only team that is yet to win a game this season. The red and gold brigade are struggling at the bottom of the points table with just six points in 11 games. They are on a 15-game winless streak and are now coming into this match on the back of a 1-0 defeat against Jamshedpur FC.
When the two teams last met at the Tilak Maidan Stadium, FC Goa came out on top with a narrow 4-3 victory.
