We are 30 minutes away from kickoff. Both sets of players are doing their pre-match warmups as the crowd starts to build at the Kanteerava Stadium. A huge number of spectators is expected today at the stadium, especially with the weekend fixture.
Bengaluru FC, currently level on points with league leaders Mohun Bagan SG, have enjoyed a strong campaign, winning six of their ten matches so far. However, their momentum suffered a dent after a 2-4 defeat against Odisha FC in their previous outing. The Sunil Chhetri-led side will aim to bounce back at home and reclaim the top spot.
Kerala Blasters, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency this season. Sitting in the lower half of the table, they have managed only three wins in their campaign. A win in this match would propel them to eighth place, providing much-needed confidence. Kerala Blasters enter the contest following a narrow 0-1 loss to FC Goa.
It is going to be a massive encounter for both sets of supporters as they have animosity from past encounters. With the match being played at the Garden City, the men in Yellow will have to find out a way to get a result, something which they have lacked so far this season.
In 15 previous ISL meetings, Bengaluru FC hold the upper hand with nine wins, while Kerala Blasters have won four times. Two matches ended in draws between the two southern sides.
