**CHENNAI -** East Bengal will face a crucial match against Nejmeh SC on Friday in the AFC Challenge League 2024-25 group stage, needing a win to bolster their chances of advancing.

The Red and Gold Brigade started their campaign with a disappointing 2-2 draw against Paro FC but bounced back with a dominant 4-0 victory over Bashundhara Kings, marking their first win under new coach Oscar Bruzon this season.

However, East Bengal enters the match in poor form, having lost all six of their Indian Super League matches.

Their opponent, Nejmeh SC from Beirut, has already secured their spot in the knockout stage, winning their first two matches against Bashundhara Kings and Paro FC.

While Nejmeh is considered the favorite, East Bengal will be looking to capitalize on the momentum gained from their victory over Bashundhara, aiming to secure a crucial win and put themselves in a better position to qualify for the next round.
