Bambolim (Goa), Nov 28, : Sunil Chhetri’s Bengaluru FC will be looking to get their Indian Super League campaign (ISL) back on track when they face Kerala Blasters FC at GMC Athletic Stadium later this Sunday. After starting their campaign on a positive note, Bengaluru FC lost to Odisha FC (1-3).
The Kerala Blasters FC were also defeated by Odisha FC (1-3), despite starting the season on a positive note.They played a goalless draw against NorthEast United FC(NEUFC) after losing to ATK Mohun Bagan.
Bengaluru FC has had mixed fortunes over the last five matches.They have won two, lost two, and shared points in one match.
This includes their AFC Cup group stage appearances.They have a similar record in their five pre-season games, which shows that the star-studded team is not always as consistent.
The Blasters have been winless in the last 10 ISL games.Their last victory was in January 2021 against Bengaluru FC.The Blasters have won five of the eight preseason games they’ve played and lost two.
Bengaluru FC has an advantage on the head-to-head front.They have won five of the eight outings, while losing two.
After a thrilling 4-2 win over NEUFC in their first game, Bengaluru FC lost 1-3 to Odisha FC.The score indicates that they conceded far too many goals in both matches.Coach Marco Pezzaiuoli must fix the defense as soon as possible.
Musavu Kings and Alan Costa have only played two matches together in the middle-back position.It would be interesting to see their relationship as they progress through the season.
Jayesh Rane was quiet against Odisha FC.But Bruno Ramires looked solid in central midfield.Suresh Singh Wangjam was so impressive for Bengaluru FC last season but is still struggling to find his rhythm.
Blasters’ loss against ATKMB of 2-4 was not a good start.However, their intention was evident throughout the game which gave their fans hope.It was difficult for the Blasters’ fans to accept the draw against NEUFC.
Despite having many scoring opportunities, the Blasters failed to capitalize with Jorge Pereyra Diaz and Sahal Abdul Samad missing the target.
