East Bengal FC is set to play Punjab FC in an ISL 2024-25 clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday.

This is an important match for Punjab FC, which has 24 points from 20 games and is a fair seven points away from the sixth-placed Bengaluru FC (31). The Panagiotis Dilmperis-coached side has lost thrice and won once in its last five games but can still hope to make a last-mile charge for the playoff qualification.

Punjab FC has netted multiple times in each of its last two ISL games against East Bengal FC. However, it has never managed to score two or more goals in three consecutive matches against a single opponent in the competition. It will want to snap the sequence of not scoring from a corner this season before the campaign wraps up, too.

The Kolkata-based team has 21 points from 20 games and is 11th in the standings. Its preceding five clashes have seen it win twice and draw once. Trailing the Blues by 10 points, East Bengal will have to bank on a host of results to fall in its favour from hereon, but the best it could do is to take care of the controllable, and a victory here could propel them to do so.

The Punjab FC vs East Bengal ISL 2024-25 match will kick-off at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at 5 PM IST on Saturday, February 22.

The Punjab FC vs East Bengal ISL 2024-25 match will be live broadcast on Star Sports 3, Sports18 and Asianet. It can also be live-streamed on the Jio Hotstar app and website
