KBFC vs BFC Preview:
This season, Kerala Blasters are on a mission to settle scores after their heartbreaking playoff defeat to Bengaluru FC in the previous year. The match was marred by a disputed goal and the memorable walk-off incident involving Ivan Vukomanovic. Despite some setbacks, including the departure of key players like Sahal Abdul Samad, the club has worked hard to assemble a formidable lineup. While their recent Durand Cup campaign ended disappointingly with an early exit, they showed promise during their pre-season stint in the United Arab Emirates.
Bengaluru FC, on the other hand, has undergone significant changes in their team. Despite the disappointment of losing in the ISL and Super Cup finals last season, there are positives to take from their performance. However, they face the challenge of missing their talismanic captain, Sunil Chhetri, for at least the first two games of the season.
KBFC vs BFC Team News:
Kerala Blasters faced several fitness concerns going into the match. Dimitrios Diamantakos, who had recently returned to training, was among the worries. Additionally, Rahul KP and Bryce Miranda were unavailable due to national team duty, and Ishan Pandita’s participation was doubtful due to injury.
Bengaluru FC was also missing key players due to their commitments to the Asian Games, including Sunil Chhetri and Rohit Danu.
