Jamshedpur FC vs SC East Bengal: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know
Jamshedpur FC will look to continue their pursuit of a maiden top-four finish when they host SC East Bengal in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Sunday. The game will be played at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco.
Owen Coyle's Jamshedpur FC are seventh in the ISL standings with 18 points from 15 games. Jamshedpur FC have been inconsistent throughout the season and failed to get a good run going. Despite having the perfect balance of youth and experience in the roster, the Men in Steel have not looked like a side on course for a top-four finish.
Meanwhile, Robbie Fowler's SC East Bengal looked like a side that have left themselves with too much to do. They started late in the pre-season and took almost a month to figure out their starting line-up. The team did settle down for a period in January and managed to maintain a seven-match unbeaten run before their current slump in form.
A win for Jamshedpur FC will push them to 6th in the standings while SC East Bengal can climb to 9th if they pick up three points on offer.
