ISL 2023-24: Kerala Blasters FC vs NorthEast United FC - Build-up

The Indian Super League’s (ISL) caravan returns to Kochi after a 12-day halt due to the international break. Kerala Blasters FC will play host to NorthEast United FC at the JLN Stadium in Kochi in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday.

After a dream start to their ISL 2023-24 campaign where they won two out of two games, Kerala Blasters were handed a demoralising 2-1 defeat by Mumbai City FC. The Blasters not only lost the game but have also gotten themselves in big trouble.

They will host the Highlanders with an injury and suspension-hit squad come Saturday. But, nonetheless, they still find themselves comfortable sitting in the top four. 

The Stakes are very high for NorthEast United going into this game. They have had a good start to their season in comparison to the last couple of seasons. But, whether or not they can build upon it remains to be seen.

The away clash against the Kerala Blasters will be a litmus test for Juan Pedro Benali and his side. They come into the games on the back of a well-deserved rest and a 1-1 draw against Punjab FC in their last game.
