SC East Bengal will look to get their first points on the board when they take on a resurgent Jamshedpur FC in the Indian super league.Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler will be under pressure to end his side SC East Bengal's three-match losing streak when they face a resurgent Jamshedpur FC an Indian Super League game here on Thursday. SC East Bengal are currently the only side yet to open their account in the 11-team top-tier league.Lacking a quality striker upfront, SC East Bengal's backline too has been badly exposed of late, especially after injury to their captain and defensive mainstay Danny Fox. Up against the Red Miners, boasting last season's Golden Ball winner Nerijus Valskis, Fowler's shaky defence will be further tested.The Lithuanian striker struck a brilliant brace to script Jamshedpur's first win of the league, that also halted ATK Mohun Bagan's three-match winning run in their last match.Luck too is eluding Fowler's side as their two penalty claims, including one when Maghoma was brought down inside the box against NorthEast United FC, were rejected by the referee.The Owen Coyle-coached side, on the other hand, would be high on confidence after their one-sided win over ATKMB as they have moved up to seventh spot.
