The new Indian Super League season has only just begun, and neither Inter Kashi nor East Bengal have managed a win in the league yet, with both coming off unfavourable results in mid-October. This match is therefore one both sides want to use as a starting point before the schedule gets heavier. Inter Kashi were held to a 1-1 home draw by Odisha FC in the league on 17 Oct, after previously losing 0-2 to Kerala Blasters. Their opponents arrive in clearly hotter form, having just thrashed Churchill Brothers 0-4 away in the league on 18 Oct, even though they had lost 2-3 to Al Shorta in the AFC Champions League Two on 13 Oct. The pattern of play therefore suggests East Bengal will push forward more and dominate possession, while Inter Kashi must defend in an organised block and wait for counter-attacking opportunities. If Inter Kashi score first, the game is likely to become even more stubborn, because East Bengal will have to push higher to equalise, which will open more chances for the hosts to counter and make a tight finish more likely than the two teams' reputations suggest.
