FC Goa will host SC East Bengal in match no. 65 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim.
The two sides met earlier in the competition, with the Gaurs edging past the Red and Gold brigade on that occasion. Things have changed in both camps since then. Derrick Perreira is currently in charge of FC Goa and Mario Rivera will be leading SC East Bengal.
