Kerala Blasters vs East Bengal - The Preview

Kerala Blasters are well on course to qualify for the playoffs but they are winless in the last three matches. The Blasters need some victories ahead of the playoffs and they require one point in the last three matches to ensure their playoff place.

In the last match at home, they were beaten 3-4 by Mohun Bagan and coach Ivan Vukomanovic will be desperate to get things straight against another Kolkata club. Dimitri Diamantakos will be the key man for the Blasters. The Greek has already netted 13 goals in the league and his scoring spree will be crucial in the business end of the season. Milos Drincic will be out of the clash as the centre back got his 4th Yellow Card in the last match.

East Bengal are in deep trouble and need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They are currently four places off the 6th spot but a win can take them within a point of it. Carles Cuadrat's men have lost three league matches in a row and their last encounter saw them losing the Kolkata Derby against Mohun Bagan.

Nandha Kumar is not available for East Bengal as the winger underwent a small procedure recently. Cleiton Silva, Saul Crespo will be crucial for East Bengal's hopes whereas in defence, the form of Hijazi Maher and Aleksandar Pantic will play a huge role.
