It's going to be a face-off between East Bengal and FC Goa in the Indian Super League on Wednesday. While this will be the season opener for Goa, East Bengal will look to bounce back after facing a defeat against Kerala Blasters FC in their first match. Meanwhile, The Gaurs after a disappointing season last time around would be desperate to start off with a win this time around.
With both teams desperate for a win, this promises to be a high-voltage match. Ahead of the kickoff, here is an attempt at predicting which way the game could go, who could net goals and which team looks favourites to clinch the 3 points at the outset.
1. Goal Scorer Prediction
Alex Lima netted the goal for East Bengal in their season opener while Sumeet Passi was in great form in the Duran Cup. Expecting a goal from either or both of them in this match. For FC Goa, meanwhile, Muhammed Nemil scored twice in the Durand Cup and is predicted to find the back of the net in this match.
2. Top Players
Brandon Fernandes for FC Goa is a probable contender to be among the top players not only for this match but for this season. Cleiton Silva for East Bengal is the player to watch out for.
3. Man of the Match
Sumeet Passi could be the Man of the Match if he scores and East Bengal manages to play a draw or win this game.
4. Final Score
East Bengal 1-1 FC Goa. Predicting this to be a draw. However, in this season one has not witnessed a goalless game and with goal scorers in decent form in both teams, the trend is expected to continue.
