Kerala Blasters find themselves in dire need of a morale-boosting victory after securing just one win in seven games during the second leg of the ISL 2023-24 season. Their upcoming match against East Bengal presents an opportunity to reignite their confidence, especially in front of their loyal supporters.
Under Ivan Vukomanovic's leadership, Kerala Blasters must rally to deliver a commanding performance and reward their fans' unwavering support. To achieve this, they must tap into their most ruthless form to overcome the resilient East Bengal side.
Meanwhile, for East Bengal, every remaining fixture holds immense significance as they aim to secure a coveted playoff spot. With only four matches left in the league stage, each game is akin to a final for them. Carles Cuadrat's team faces the daunting task of winning all remaining matches to stand a chance of qualifying for the playoffs, a feat they have yet to accomplish in the history of the ISL.
Having previously demonstrated a solid performance against Kerala Blasters earlier in the season, East Bengal understands the importance of elevating their game further to secure victory in this challenging environment. Cuadrat must instill defensive resilience in his side and capitalize on any errors made by Kerala Blasters to clinch a crucial away win and edge closer to playoff qualification.
In terms of injury and team news, Kerala Blasters will be without Adrian Luna and Sachin Suresh, while defender Milos Drincic faces suspension for the upcoming match. Additionally, Marko Leskovic will be rested. On the other hand, East Bengal will miss Nandhakumar Sekar for the remainder of the season, adding to their challenges ahead.
