ISL 2020-21: Bengaluru FC vs SC East Bengal - Match Preview, Telecast, Live Stream Details, and Prediction

Match 52 of the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) season sees Bengaluru FC take on SC East Bengal at the Fatorda Stadium in Margoa, Goa, on Saturday evening.

Bengaluru begin with life after Carles Cuadrat as they take on a rejuvenated East Bengal who will be without coach Robbie Fowler and defender Dylan Fox while the Blues will miss Harmanjot Khabra owing to suspensions.

Bengaluru will be hoping to start anew under interim coach Naushad Moosa, while East Bengal will be looking to extend their four-match unbeaten run. The Blues head into the clash on the back of three successive defeats and need to start picking up some wins quickly if they want to qualify for the semi-finals.
