East Bengal vs Punjab FC Highlights ISL: EBFC 0-0 PFC At Full-Time | Match Ends In Goalless Draw

East Bengal Preview

Oscar Bruzon has made East Bengal one of the toughest teams in the league. The Spanish coach came in for criticism earlier in the season, but has turned the side around completely and his tactics are being rewarded by the results.

The Kolkata giants have climbed to the top of the table with 21 points after staying unbeaten in their last seven matches. Convincing recent wins over Odisha FC and Mumbai City FC have further emphasised their excellent form and attacking prowess.

Playing at home could be a big advantage for East Bengal in this fixture. The Torchbearers have been one of the most lethal attacking sides this season and the combination of Miguel Figueira and Youssef Ezzejjari will once again be key to breaking down Punjab’s defence.

Oscar Bruzon is expected to leave the club after the season and that will also give the players added motivation to maintain their good run and stay on top of the league table.

Punjab FC Preview

Punjab FC travel to Kolkata after a close but vital win over Chennaiyin FC. The Shers are seventh on 18 points but the manner of the title race is so close that a win here could see the table turned on its head.

Punjab have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks and especially after their impressive showing against Mohun Bagan earlier in the term. However, their biggest challenge will be to stop the free-flowing attack of East Bengal.

The visitors will rely heavily on Effiong and Ramirez in attack and someone like Suji can also also chip in make sure that the opposition remain in complete pressure.
