The end of the Indian Super League is fast approaching and two sides that find themselves out of the running for a top 4 spot meet in their last game of the season as East Bengal host Bengaluru.

Match result

It's been a tough season for both sides who find themselves firmly out of the playoff picture. For East Bengal, it's been a tough season with the club finding themselves rooted to the bottom of the table having only taken eleven points all season. For Bengaluru, a season that started with such promise has petered out and they just find themselves out of the final top 4 reckoning. It's Bengaluru who have the slight form edge and we will back them to get a victory here.

Under 2.5 goals

Clean sheets have been a problem for both teams with neither side able to keep a single clean sheet in their last five matches. The last five matches between the pair have been closely fought with the last three games all seeing under 2.5 goals. Both of these teams are amongst the lowest scorers in the league and it could be worth backing this game to see under 2.5 goals once again.

Both teams to score

With clean sheets proving difficult it isn't a surprise to see that East Bengal have seen both teams score in four of their last five games. Bengaluru have seen both teams score in three of their last five. With the shackles bound to be off in the final game of the season for both, this game could be an open one and we think that both teams have a real shot of finding the back of the net once again.

East Bengal vs Bengaluru Match Preview

East Bengal

For fans of East Bengal, the end of the season is probably a relief! It's been a tough season for the team from Kolkata who have just won one game all season. Since that 2-1 win against Goa, the team have just been able to pick up two points in their last seven matches. It isn't a surprise to see that East Bengal sit at the bottom of the home form table having just picked up five points all season. East Bengal will be desperate to sign off their season with a first home win, but face another uphill task here.

Bengaluru

A season that started with much promise has hit the buffers and fans of Bengaluru will be disappointed that their side weren't quite able to secure a top 4 finish. Three defeats in their last four matches have put pay to their playoff hopes but a win here against lowly East Bengal could see Bengaluru secure a top 6 finish. Bengaluru's away form has been ok with the side finding themselves in 5th in the overall away form table. They will be confident of finishing their season with a win here.
