East Bengal faces mounting pressure as they head into their upcoming game, aiming to break their streak of four winless matches. Desperate for at least a draw, the team seeks to offer relief to their distressed fans. However, they face a tough challenge against the formidable Kerala Blasters, who are in good form.

Sitting at the ninth spot in the league with 12 points from 15 games, East Bengal has won only four matches and lost the rest. A victory in the upcoming match might take their tally to 15 points but won't alter their current position in the table.

Similarly, Kerala Blasters also face high stakes in their league games and aspire for a strong finish. With a passionate fanbase backing them, they aim to win every game to climb higher in the rankings. Consequently, their game against East Bengal holds significant importance as they cannot afford to drop points against a lower-ranked team.

Currently placed third with 28 points from 15 games, a win on Friday would elevate Kerala Blasters to 31 points, maintaining their position in the league standings.

In terms of team news, East Bengal has a few minor injury concerns. However, Jake Jervis is set to join the matchday squad, although he might not start. Lalchungnunga is suspended due to accumulating four yellow cards. Kerala Blasters will be without Marko Leskovic and Sandeep Singh. Nevertheless, their recent signing, Danish Farooq, is expected to be available for selection.
