East Bengal vs Punjab Predictions
Both teams are in good form, but East Bengal should have the edge in a likely high-scoring ISL encounter.
I have my stakes on a home win, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored also expected.
High-Scoring Home Win Likely
- East Bengal have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches
- East Bengal won 4 of their last 5 matches
- East Bengal won their last 3 matches against Punjab
- Punjab have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches against East Bengal
- Punjab have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches
East Bengal Dominant in Punjab H2H Record
East Bengal and Punjab have met on 14 previous occasions. East Bengal won eight of those matches while Punjab triumphed just twice.
Recent encounters have been high-scoring. BTTS and over 3.5 goals landed in each of their last four encounters. East Bengal won three of those fixtures.
East Bengal Extend Unbeaten Run
East Bengal return to Salt Lake Stadium with plenty of confidence after an excellent 2-1 win at Mumbai City earlier this week. Second-half goals from Youssef Ezzejjari (58', pen) and Nandhakumar Sekar (71') secured an impressive comeback victory.
In an evenly balanced contest, Oscar Bruzon’s side registered an xG of 1.05 from 11 shots on goal. The hosts were a little unfortunate not to take something from the game, with 13 shots and an xG of 1.17 highlighting the competitive nature of the matchup.
Last weekend’s win marked a fourth win in five for the in-form home side. East Bengal are now unbeaten in seven matches, with their impressive run helping them to the top of the ISL.
The in-form Red & Gold Brigade won six and lost just one of their first ten games of the season.Strong in the forward areas, East Bengal averaged 2.7 goals per game across those ten fixtures.
Usually a reliable choice for goal chasers, all but two of ten ISL fixtures this season finished with a minimum of three goals scored.
Punjab Edge Past Chennaiyin
Punjab come into Monday’s ISL matchup after a hard-fought 1-0 win against Chennaiyin earlier this week. Lalrinliana Hnamte’s late own-goal proved the difference in a competitive clash at Guru Nanak Stadium.
Panagiotis Dilberis's side had the better of a tight contest on Wednesday. The Shers outshot the visitors 16 to 9, with a final xG of 1.78 reflecting their superiority on the day. Chennaiyin had their moments, but fell short with just nine shots and an xG total of 1.1.
A strong run of form has seen the visitors collect four wins while losing just one of their last six ISL fixtures.
While high-scoring outcomes have been less frequent for the Shers, four of their last six games finished with over 2.5 goals. Three of those games also saw BTTS land.
Predicted Lineups and Team News
East Bengal (3-4-3) Prabhsukhan Singh Gill; Jeakson Singh, Kevin Sibille, Anwar Ali; Bipin Singh, Saúl Crespo, Miguel Figueira, Vishnu P V; Souvik Chakrabarti, Youssef Ezzejjari, Nandhakumar Sekar
Head coach Bruzon could make some changes from the side that started Tuesday’s win against Mumbai City. Miguel Figueira, Souvik Chakrabarti and Youssef Ezzejjari are tipped to earn recalls after their half-time substitute appearances against Mumbai, while Nandhakumar Sekar could also come into the side after scoring the winner from the bench.
Punjab (4-5-1) Muheet Shabir; Khaimin Lhungdim, Nongmaikapam Suresh Meitei, Pablo Santos, Muhammed Uvais; Ricky John Shabong, Vinit Rai, Manglenthang Kipgen, Dani Ramírez, Bede Osuji; Nsungusi Effiong
Punjab boss Dilberis is unlikely to make any alterations to the side that edged past Chennaiyin on Wednesday. Muhammad Suhail F is the only confirmed injury absentee for the visitors.
