\"FederationSiliguri<\/strong>: East Bengal will rest its hopes on a favourable statistic when it looks to challenge the stupendous form of Churchill Brothers <\/a>in the first semi-final of the 34th Federation Cup at the Kanchanjungha Stadium on Thursday.<\/p>\n

A day after defending champion Salgaocar SC will seek to challenge the supposed invincibility of one of the most successful team of the country \u2013 Dempo SC. The predominance of Gao teams is the most striking aspect of the upcoming semi-finals, which arguably pit the four most formidable outfits of the country.\n<\/p>\n

In the first match, East Bengal <\/a>will attempt to check the threat of Churchill Brothers banking on its enviable record in the recent times. The Kolkata giant has won three titles reaching the six consecutive semi-finals, including the present one.  <\/p>\n

Looking at its scrappy showing at the group league stage, East Bengal coach Trevor Morgan teasingly referred his side an underdog when he was quizzed about his side\u2019s chances against Churchill Brothers. \u201cTheir players especially Beto (Roberto Mendes Silva) and Akram (Moghrabi) are in excellent form and we really have to find a way to restrict them,\u201d Morgan said.<\/p>\n

East Bengal, which scored seven and conceded five while making to the semi-finals, will have its task cut out against Churchill\u2019s fluency. The East Bengal coach hoped his team will overcome the deficiencies and come out with a better showing against Churchill Brothers.<\/p>\n

Churchill Brothers\u2019 technical director Subhas Bhowmick was cautious in his assertion. \u201cEast Bengal is a strong side and it needs a disciplined performance to beat them,\u201d Bhowmick said. \u201cI hope my boys will come up to the challenge,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Bhowmick definitely underplayed the stupendous form his team \u2013 having the likes of Gabonese Henry Antchouet, Brazilian Roberto Mendes Silva and young Akram Moghrabi of Lebanon \u2013 showed in the group league to master an enviable statistic of 9-1 goal average in its favour.<\/p>\n
