ISL 2023-24: Bengaluru FC vs Kerala Blasters – Build-up

In one of the highly anticipated Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 fixtures, Bengaluru FC is set to welcome Kerala Blasters FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on 2 March 2024. Both teams will be meeting exactly one year after the famous knockout game in March 2023 where the Yellow Army staged a walkout following Sunil Chhetri’s quickly taken free-kick goal that started a major controversy. 

The fortunes of the clubs are different however in the ongoing Indian Super League 2023-24 season. While the Blues are struggling to find consistency and aiming to secure one of the playoff spots, the Yellow Army is shaping to be one of the contenders for the ISL Shield by the end of the season.

Bengaluru FC sits with 18 points from 17 matches heading into the game. Making it into the play-offs is the objective for the Blues but inconsistency has been one of their failings in the 2023-24 season. The upcoming game in their backyard against the Kerala Blasters FC is a must-win contest for Gerard Zaragoza’s men to keep up with the rest of the competition. 

Kerala Blasters FC have high ambitions and their comeback 4-2 win against FC Goa proved that the club is ready to pull out all the stops to achieve them. The Yellow Army is involved in a fiery five-way race for the top spot in the ISL points table. Grinding out wins away from home is a fundamental need for any club that hopes to reach the summit.
