NorthEast United vs Kerala Blasters: Build-up

The Indian Super League (ISL) is up and running with its ninth edition, this time with the fans. After four entertaining weeks, the focus now shifts to Game-week 5. This one is full of entertaining fixtures, including one between NorthEast United and Kerala Blasters.

Two teams with so much to play for will go up against each other in the chilling cold of Guwahati on November 5 at the Indira Gandhi Athletic stadium.

The Highlanders are in trouble big time. They’ve lost all their four games and are staring at yet another disappointing campaign already. Marco Balbul’s side have had multiple on and off-the-field issues and are yet to find their mojo.

They come into this game on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Jamshedpur FC last weekend – their fourth this season. Moreover, Marco Balbul will not be available on the sidelines as he was shown a red card in the previous encounter.

Things are not very different for the Blasters either. They won their opening game, but have been searching for good form ever since. After their opening day win against East Bengal, the Blasters have lost three on the trot.

Out of those three defeats, two of them have come at their home in Kochi. They come into this game on the back of a humiliating 0-2 defeat to Mumbai City at home. The game against NorthEast United has come in at the perfect time for Kerala Blasters as it will help them regain their momentum for sure.
