Today, Kerala Blasters are back in the Indian Super League. East Bengal will be the opponents in the match to be held in Kolkata. Blusters won the first match this season. In the home match held in Kochi, Blasters defeated East Bengal 3-1. After two defeats, Blasters returned to winning ways and are still aiming for a resounding victory. Kerala Blasters are at the third position and East Bengal are at the ninth position in terms of points.
Despite their win against North East, the Blasters’ top line often fails to capitalize on opportunities, giving coach Ivan a headache. Even today, Marko Leskovic will not be in the Kerala Blasters squad. Victor Mongil and Hormipam will be the centre-backs for Blasters. Goalkeeper Prabhsukhan Gill is also not with the team today due to fever. New signing Danish Farooq is also expected to make his debut today.
Ivan Vukomanovic’s Kerala Blasters can take a step closer to qualifying for the playoffs if they win today. Today’s match is at Kolkata Salt Lake Stadium. The match starts at 7:30 PM. Live broadcast on Star Sports, Asianet Plus (Malayalam) and Disney Hotstar.
