East Bengal FC will look to extend their winning run in the MG Indian Super League (ISL) when they travel to Chennai to face Chennaiyin FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Saturday, November 7. The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

The defending champions have made an impressive start to their league campaign, winning both their opening fixtures in convincing fashion. East Bengal began their season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Churchill Brothers in Goa before following it up with a 5-1 triumph against Inter Kashi FC in Pune.

With nine goals scored and just one conceded across their first two matches, the Kolkata-based outfit have demonstrated their attacking strength and defensive organisation. Head Coach Antonio Lopez Habas will now be keen to see his side maintain that momentum and register a third consecutive victory.

However, the fixture also presents an opportunity for East Bengal to bounce back from their recent continental setback. The Red & Gold Brigade suffered a 0-2 defeat against Oman’s Al-Seeb Club in the AFC Champions League Two, and will be determined to rediscover their winning rhythm in domestic competition.

Maintaining their attacking fluency, controlling the midfield and remaining defensively disciplined will be crucial for Habas’ men as they look to continue their strong start away from home.

Chennaiyin FC, meanwhile, will be eager to get their campaign back on track after a difficult opening phase. The two-time ISL champions currently occupy 12th position in the standings, having collected just two points from their first four matches.

The Marina Machans have suffered defeats against Bengaluru FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant, while their other two fixtures against FC Goa and Kerala Blasters FC ended in draws.

What Antonio Lopez Habas and Diego Zivulic said

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, East Bengal Head Coach Antonio Lopez Habas acknowledged the challenge posed by Chennaiyin FC while expressing confidence in his squad.

“Every MG ISL match brings its own challenge, and Chennaiyin are a formidable side with quality players and a Head Coach I know very well. Our goal is to bring consistency to both our home and away performances. I have absolute trust in this squad – every single player here is a match-winner.”

East Bengal defender Diego Zivulic also stressed the importance of maintaining defensive consistency, particularly after the team’s recent continental outings.

“We have good quality in our defense, and have been fairly consistent. That said, the last two home games in the ACL Two were a reminder of how quickly continental opponents can punish small mistakes. We have to rectify those errors across both domestic and continental levels.”
