THE PREDICTION
Two sides yet to pick up a single win in this season’s Indian Super League collide here as Kerala Blasters take on East Bengal. The two teams have accrued just three points between them, but a win for East Bengal would take off the bottom of the table and above Kerala, whose defence has proven a huge problem having conceded seven goals in their last two fixtures.
East Bengal’s most recent match saw them finally open their goals column for the season, scoring twice in a 3-2 defeat to Hyderabad. They can take heart from their performance despite defeat and may sense an opportunity here to take advantage of such a frail Kerala defence. When taking this into account, East Bengal double chance is worth serious consideration.
Final Predictions: Kerala Blasters 1-0 SC East Bengal
