Kerala Blasters vs Bengaluru FC Preview:
Following a disappointing season, the Kerala Blasters enter this season with a score to settle. Their playoff defeat to Bengaluru FC will be remembered in ISL history. The game had far-reaching ramifications for the club, highlighted by a disputed goal and Ivan Vukomanovic’s memorable walk-off incident.
Nonetheless, they have put everything behind them and will attempt the campaign again this year. Despite the loss of several key players, including Sahal Abdul Samad, the club has done a good job of assembling a dangerous lineup. While their most recent Durand Cup campaign was a disappointment, with an early exit and other issues. They did, however, show better form on their pre-season trip to the United Arab Emirates.
Bengaluru FC, on the other hand, has undergone a massive team overhaul. Despite a disappointing end to the previous season, in which they lost the ISL and Super Cup finals, there are some positives to take from it.
Sunil Chhetri, their talismanic captain, will miss at least the first two games of the season, putting them at a disadvantage. Despite this, the Blues have the depth and quality in their roster to pose problems for the Kerala Blasters’ defence.
