East Bengal is poised to kick off its ISL-10 campaign by facing Jamshedpur FC at the Salt Lake Stadium on Monday. The team, which has struggled in the League's bottom three for the past three seasons, is anticipating a strong start under their new Spanish coach, Carles Cuadrat.
The team's optimism is rooted in their promising performance at the beginning of the season, where they reached the Durand Cup final. Despite narrowly losing to their traditional rivals Mohun Bagan SG in the title match, East Bengal showcased their skills and determination.
Carles Cuadrat acknowledges that this early season success has instilled confidence in his team as they prepare to take on the former League Shield winners, Jamshedpur FC.
