ISL 2024-25: East Bengal vs Kerala Blasters FC

Preview: East Bengal vs Kerala Blasters FC

East Bengal:
After suffering three consecutive losses, East Bengal’s hopes of making the playoffs are hanging by a thread. With only eight matches left in the ISL league stage, their focus should be on securing maximum points. To have even a slim chance of reigniting their playoff dreams, East Bengal must start turning their fortunes around.

This upcoming game against Kerala Blasters at home is crucial. Oscar Bruzon’s side needs to adopt a more aggressive approach in the attacking third and, more importantly, be clinical in finishing their chances. A win here could provide a much-needed boost to their confidence, but another defeat may extinguish the fans' faith in the team's chances for the rest of the season.

Kerala Blasters:
Under T.G. Purushothaman’s leadership, Kerala Blasters have been solid, remaining unbeaten in their last three matches. However, it’s now essential for them to get back to winning ways if they want to stay in contention for the sixth spot and keep up the pressure on other teams in the race.

With East Bengal currently struggling and dealing with injuries, Kerala Blasters have an opportunity to capitalize on their superior form and confidence. They need to be ruthless in taking their chances, as anything less than a win—be it a draw or loss—could see them fall further behind in the playoff race.
