B’luru vs Kerala: Big-ticket clash

Bengaluru: The Hero Indian Super League returns after the international break and there is a big-ticket clash between Bengaluru FC and Kerala Blasters FC to look forward to here on Saturday.
The South Indian rivals will look to make the most of a charged atmosphere in front of expectant supporters at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Saturday and breathe life into their campaigns. Bengaluru and Kerala find themselves in the middle of the pack with the hosts in the 5th position with six points from four games, while the Kochi-based side are seventh with four points.
Though Bengaluru are one of only three sides to remain undefeated in the ISL so far, they have only one win to their name. It came against another arch-rival, Chennaiyin FC, just before the international break.
More importantly, Carles Cuadrat’s side found their scoring boots as they pumped three goals past Chennaiyin after managing only one in their first three matches. Captain Sunil Chhetri also opened his account for the season in that game. “I think we are working well from the start of the season. We could have won all the three games (first). I hope it will be a great match,” said Cuadrat. (PTI)
