Bengaluru fc have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six ISL games, which is the longest such streak in the clubâs history, conceding an average of 1.7 goals per game. Meanwhile they have scored just once in their last three league games. Unusual.

SC EASTBENGAL 1-0 BENGALURU FC [45 :00 min]
SC east bengal is looking bright in presence of bright. Really what a player. Solo runs are really threatening. Stainamn was beautiful along side his dummy runs. The most important thing about this team is Maghoma and bright is constantly changing there position and that is making hard for the BFC mid field deal with them. At start they were operating in left then changed to the right and again changed to the left. Very impressive. But defensive lag is there in the team.
For BFC Parag was impressive along side suresh and some spark from captain sunil. Demus was good but they have to do wing play. If they starts pressing and wing play believe me this SCEB defence is very easy to break. They just have to have the courage to do so keeping Bright and stainman left in the deep of their position.
Surely goals are coming.

Bengaluru FC 0-1 SC East Bengal - FT
Matti Steinmannâs first half goal remains as the difference as East Bengal beat Bengaluru 1-0. Bengaluru FC tried hard in the second half but big saves from Debjit Majumder denied them after SC East Bengal dominated them in the first half. The second half was more even but Bengaluru still lacked sting in the final third and Debjit made some huge saves to get the win for his team.
Bengaluru FC had more shots on target and more shots overall but the Hero of the Match Debjit Majumder was up to the task and helped SC East Bengal get the big win.

SCEB 1-0 BFC
Astonishingly the match ended in the same result from 1st half. Chances had been created by the both teams but goal keeping was top class.
Debjit who has a new name savejit justifies that. 3 spectacular saves which gave SCEB the most important 3 point.
In the 4th quarter of the game bengaluru was pressing like any thing. But SCEB suffered that and stood their ground. But it was highly questionable move to keep milan singh for 90 min and keeping rafique in bench for so long. Rafique deserves a first 11 spot in this team undoubtedly.
Stainman was completely off in the second half. May be that id because of the injury he got. Hope that he will be back.
What bengaluru is lacking is the attacking. Chetry was trying but he is not in his best touch so dose Udanta. I have never seen this BFC team so ordinary looking till date. Hope that they will come out of it strongly.

Bengaluru FC Coach Naushad Moosa After the Game
"Itâs not been easy for me. It was all of a sudden and we knew the relationship we had with Carles, it wasnât easy for us. For all the players, I had to really sit with everyone and talk to them. The players made me feel comfortable and showed me they are professional and here to play football.
"Three sleepless nights, itâs not been easy for me. I was confident that we can bounce back. Unlucky goal but the way we played today, we can get back. Even East Bengal, they have been on top, and they were also desperate for the victory. I am sure we will come back and give a positive performance in the next match.
âI want to rely on the youth now. The way Parag played in the first game, it was unlucky he got injured. Bhutia, Amay, they were nervous but it was their first game. I do want to give them more time. We still have 10 games to go and itâs not over for us.â

Bengaluru can reach the playoffsâ - Naushad Moosa encouraged by the Bluesâ performance against East Bengal
Bengaluru interim coach Naushad Moosa has not given up hopes on qualifying for the playoffs of the 2020-21 Indian Super League.
The Blues lost their fourth match in a row on Saturday when they went down 0-1 to East Bengal. It was Moosaâs first game in charge of the team following the sacking of Carles Cuadrat earlier this week due to the teamâs poor run of form.
âThere are 30 points out there, I donât feel that it is not reachable. The boys have the confidence they can do it and I am sure we can get there,â said Moosa when he was asked about the teamâs chances of making it to the knockout stage this season.
âIf you see the way they played, not to forget we have 10 more games, there is nothing like âwe are under pressure and we have lost three games.â The boys were positive and I am really proud of them.â

East Bengal are scared of no oneâ - Tony Grant confident of success after morale-boosting win against Bengaluru
East Bengal picked up their second win in three matches with a 1-0 result against Bengaluru.
After the match, Grant said, âWe only had a two-week pre-season and only had a whole bunch of players who no one knew so it was common sense that it was going to take time. If anyone thought it was all done, they were crazy. It is a work in progress. It has never been a problem for us (the league position).â
âBengaluru are one of the biggest teams in the league. In the early days, we have shown that we are fighters, we are scared of no one.â
Grant said that the jump to ISL from the I-League is a big process. âEast Bengal have never been in the ISL before, it is a massive jump. It is like taking a conference team in the UK and playing them in the Premier League. It takes time and is a work in progress.â

Kerala Blasters have been unluckyâ - Jamshedpur boss Owen Coyle wary of âdangerousâ Yellow Army
Jamshedpur head coach Owen Coyle considers Kerala Blasters as a âdangerous opponentâ ahead of their next Indian Super League (ISL) clash on Sunday.
The former Burnley manager feels that that Vicunaâs side has just been unlucky.
"If you look at Keralaâs games, they have been very unlucky. Even if you look at their last game, they obviously lost 4-2 but they could have easily scored five or six goals in the game. Against Mumbai [City, 2-0 loss] they put themselves two-nothing down because of individual errors but they could have again scored two or three goals.
âWhen teams have had disappointing results, they can be very dangerous. They have some wonderful players. I think it will be a difficult game and we have to make sure that we bring the same work ethic that we brought in the first nine games of the season,â he remarked.
