East Bengal vs Kerala Blasters: Build-up

East Bengal are set to be back at home to take on Kerala Blasters in Kolkata on Friday. The Red & Gold Brigade suffered a humiliating loss against FC Goa in their last outing in which the Gaurs beat them 4-2. East Bengal are currently on a four-match losing streak. Playing at home, they will be desperate to break that streak on Friday.

Unlike East Bengal, Kerala Blasters are having a good ISL season. They are sitting comfortably in the top half of the top six, currently in third place just below Hyderabad FC. After losing two games consecutively, the side got back to winning ways in their last game in which they defeated NorthEast United 2-0. They will like to get another three points on Friday, especially against a shoddy East Bengal.

East Bengal are currently placed ninth with 12 points from 15 games. The side has won only four and lost the remaining 11. A win will take them to 15 points but it will not change their position on the table.

Kerala Blasters are placed third with 28 points from 15 games. Three points on Friday will take the side to 31 points, keeping them in the same spot.
