ISL 2020-21, SC East Bengal vs FC Goa: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know

SC East Bengal will hope to continue their winning momentum in the Indian Super League when they host FC Goa at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco on Wednesday.

The Red and Golds had an extremely poor start to their debut ISL campaign. The Kolkata-based former I-League side lost three games on the trot before earned their first-ever point in the ISL with a draw against Jamshedpur FC.

They lost their fourth game to Hyderbad FC before registering consecutive draws against Kerala Blasters FC and Chennaiyin FC. Robbie Fowler's men finally managed to get their first win of the ISL campaign with a 3-1 result against Odisha FC in their most recent league fixture.

On the other hand, FC Goa had to wait until their fourth league game to earn their first three points. Subsequently, a couple of defeats forced Gaurs boss Juan Ferrando to make changes to his playing side. FC Goa have now won two consecutive games ahead of the fixture against SC East Bengal.
