ISL 2024-25: East Bengal FC and Kerala Blasters face off at the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata.

East Bengal FC vs Kerala Blasters – ISL 2024-25 Match Preview: East Bengal seem to have again lost their momentum in the Indian Super League (ISL). After a series of commendable performances under new coach Oscar Bruzon, the Torchbearers went on to suffer three defeats in a row. The most recent one came against FC Goa in an away fixture. East Bengal’s new signing, Richard Celis, was unable to influence the game on his ISL debut.

Brison Fernandes broke the deadlock for Goa early in the first half. East Bengal got enough chances to score the equaliser but failed to capitalise them due to a poor show by the attackers. The Red and Gold brigade will be desperate to bounce back when they host Kerala Blasters in the next ISL game. The big-ticket clash will be held at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Salt Lake, Kolkata, on January 24.

East Bengal have held the eleventh place in the league standings for a long time. They currently have 14 points in 16 matches. Oscar Bruzon’s side needs to make the most out of the remaining games of the season to reach the top six.

Meanwhile, Kerala Blasters remain eighth in the ISL standings, having collected 21 points from 17 matches. They faced NorthEast United in the last fixture which ended in a goalless draw.
