The Salt Lake Stadium is set for an electric atmosphere this Saturday as East Bengal FC aims to secure back-to-back wins to open their ISL 2025–26 campaign. Fresh off a dominant 3–0 victory over NorthEast United, the “Red and Gold Brigade” currently sit at the top of the table, fuelled by the clinical form of new signing Youssef Ezzejjari.
East Bengal’s revival under Oscar Bruzon has been the talk of Kolkata. After years of sluggish starts, the team looks organised and lethal. However, they face a defensive test today as Jeakson Singh continues to fill in at centre-back for the injured Kevin Sibille.
In contrast, Sporting Club Delhi—the relocated and rebranded Hyderabad FC—is searching for its first points. After a 2–0 loss to Bengaluru FC, Tomasz Tchórz’s young squad must find a way to penetrate a confident East Bengal backline. Delhi’s hope lies in the pace of Mohammad Aimen and the distribution of Abdul Halik Hudu.
With a passionate home crowd behind them, East Bengal are the clear favourite, but “The Phoenix” from Delhi will be desperate to prove they belong in the top flight. Â
