East Bengal Football Club (EBFC) will look to make it two wins from two in the Kalinga Super Cup when it takes on Sreenidi Deccan FC at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar on Sunday.
A brace from captain Cleiton Silva helped EBFC beat Hyderabad FC in the opening match of the 2024 Super Cup on January 9.
Saul Crespo scored a late header following a Borja Herrera corner to seal the points after goals from Ramhlunchhunga and Nim Dorjee Tamang brought Hyderabad level.

Sreenidi Deccan on the other hand gave Mohun Bagan Super Giant a tough fight before falling to a 2-1 loss despite the Mariners playing with 10 men at the death.
A penalty from William Oliveira gave the I-League team the lead, but Jason Cummings equalised 11 minutes later. Armando Sadiku then sealed the result with a 71st-minute strike before Abhishek Suryavanshi was sent off in the 86th minute for a second yellow.
Sreenidi Deccan will hope to bring out a similar performance against the Red and Gold Brigade and hope for a favourable result this time out.
