FC Goa, one of the most consistent teams in the ISL, are struggling this season. They are winless after three matches conceding eight goals. Their Tuesday’s rivals, SC East Bengal, find themselves in an equally precarious position. The Jose Manuel Diaz-coached side are 10th in the ISL VIII league table, a slot above FC Goa and yet to taste victory.
SC East Bengal’s goalless game against Chennaiyin FC last Friday should give them confidence.“The clean sheet was needed,” the Spaniard said.
SC East Bengal will hope to heap more misery on the reigning Durand Cup champions at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco.
The FC Goa coach rued about the three consecutive losses. “It is difficult for the players to digest the results,” coach Juan Ferrando said.
