NorthEast United FC vs Kerala Blasters FC: Head-to-head record in the ISL

Kerala Blasters face NorthEast United in Guwahati on 18th October.

After thumping wins in their respective season openers, NorthEast United FC and Kerala Blasters will renew their ties come Sunday in Guwahati.

The Highlanders left it late to secure all three points against Mohun Bagan in their first game while the Blasters pulled off a solid win on the road against Inter Kashi. It is basically going to be a top of the table clash as the winner of this game will solidify their position at the peak of the standings.

The previous encounters between the two sides have often ended in a stalemate with this fixture accounting for 10 draws, including three in three in build up to this match. NorthEast United will look to maintain their rhythm while the visitors will want to stamp their dominance in Guwahati.

Interestingly, Kerala Blasters have undergone a major overhaul and are therefore expected to be the favourites coming into this game. Let us take a look at the head-to-head standings between the two teams ahead of their latest meeting.

Kerala Blasters have an upper hand

Ahead of the Sunday’s mega clash, both teams have come across each other on 25 previous occasions across all competitions. The Kerala Blasters enjoy a slight advantage with nine wins while the Highlanders have six wins to show for their efforts and the remaining 10 games have ended in a draw. This fixture averages almost two goals per game as both teams have managed to net 49 goals in total.

However, NorthEast United have looked pretty solid against the Blasters on their home soil. They have managed to remain undefeated in eight out of 12 outings at home. John Abraham’s side have won five games at home against the Yellow Army with their last win dating back to 2024 when they pulled off a 2-0 win at the Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah Stadium. 

The most recent meeting between the two resulted in a draw in Kochi where the Highlanders fought back very late to rescue a point, thanks to a goal from Lalrinzuala Lalbiaknia. The last time both teams came across each other in Guwahati, the scoreline read 0-0. Moreover, the Highlanders are unbeaten against the Blasters in the last six meetings with Kerala’s last victory dating back to January 2023.
