    ISL 2024-25: East Bengal Host Bengaluru FC With Playoff Qualification In Sight

    By IANS News March 01, 2025 • 18:18 PM View: 723
    Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan: With a place in the playoffs in sight, first-timers East Bengal FC face former winners and already qualified Bengaluru FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) here on Sunday. East Bengal are five points behind the sixth-placed Mumbai City FC (32), who have featured in 21 encounters. The Blues have qualified for the playoffs, whereas East Bengal FC are eighth in the table with 27 points from 22 games.

    To simplify the equation, the Oscar Bruzon-coached team will target getting six points from the remaining two games to improve their probability of finishing in the top six. East Bengal FC have shown promising form as they are on a three-match winning streak currently, the first time that they have done so in ISL history, and they will have to stretch that to five games so that they can stand a chance of making it to the next stage of the competition.

    East Bengal FC are one of the four active ISL teams that Bengaluru FC have not done a league double over, and this is their opportunity to scale that feat following their 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in September. East Bengal have made changes in their starting line-up in 21 games this season, which is the joint-most in the league (tied with Chennaiyin FC).
