ISL 2020-21, SC East Bengal vs Jamshedpur FC: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know
SC East Bengal will look to get their first win of the ISL 2020-21 season when they come up against a high-in-confidence Jamshedpur FC. The Red Miners did not have the results go their way in the first three games but had shown that they are clinical in front of the goal. They then went on to get a much-needed positive result against ATK Mohun Bagan in their last match.
The Red and Gold Brigade have lacked sharpness and an inability to finish has cost them games. The team has been poor on the other side of the pitch as well, conceding seven goals in three games so far.
SC East Bengal are the only side without a point and pressure will be building on Robbie Flower to get the team winning. Owen Coyle, on the other hand, will be looking to take his team to their first-ever ISL playoffs and will look to continue on the upward trajectory.
Nerijus Valskis, who won the Golden Boot last season for Chennaiyin FC, has continued his red-hot form and Owen Coyle will be banking on him again.
