In this AFC Champions League Two fixture, East Bengal host Al Shorta. The two teams come from different leagues and different countries, meeting in a continental cup. In their most recent match, East Bengal won 2-0 in the league, while Al Shorta also won 1-0 in their own league. The form of the two sides is therefore not very different. East Bengal come in at a moment when their defence is starting to settle, keeping a clean sheet in their last match, while Al Shorta also did not concede in their last game. This match therefore looks likely to be one where both sides start cautiously, each waiting for a mistake from the other rather than opening up and trading blows from the start. If East Bengal score first from a home-ground moment, the game will likely force Al Shorta to push up and open up more, which is the situation the hosts are good at, waiting to counter. But if Al Shorta hold firm and shut the door first, the game could stretch out until the closing stages.
