TEAMS PREVIEW

East Bengal Preview

East Bengal FC have shown clear signs of progress this season, even after a narrow 2–1 loss to Jamshedpur FC in Round 3. In their latest outing against reigning Super Cup champions FC Goa, the Red and Gold Brigade held firm in a hard-fought 0–0 draw.

East Bengal arguably had the better of the contest, posting an xG of 0.92 to Goa’s 0.36, enjoying 54% possession and registering 20 shot attempts, though only one was on target. 

Still, the point proved valuable, taking their tally to seven points, their best-ever start at this stage of an Indian Super League season. Coach Óscar Bruzón also made two changes from the Jamshedpur game, handing season debuts to Mohamad Rakip and Naorem Mahesh Singh. 

East Bengal Probable XI - Prabhsukhan Singh Gill (GK); Mohamad Rakip, Anwar Ali, Lalchungnunga, Bipin Singh, Jeakson Singh, Mohamad Rashid, Miguel Figueira, Naorem Mahesh Singh, Edmund Lalrindika, Youssef Ezzejjari. 

Kerala Blasters FC Preview

Kerala Blasters FC made five changes for their Round 4 clash against Chennaiyin FC, but it did little to change their fortunes as they slipped to a fourth straight defeat, losing 1–0. Once again, an early first-half goal left the Blasters chasing the game—something that has happened in three of their four losses this season.

Worryingly, they have failed to score in three of those matches, despite creating chances. In the latest outing alone, the Blasters recorded an xG of 1.98 with 16 shot attempts but couldn’t find the net. 

Interestingly, it marks the first time in their Indian Super League history that they have lost their opening four games, leaving coach David Català under growing pressure. 

Kerala Blasters Probable XI - Anwer Shaikh (GK); Sandeep Singh, Oumar Bah, Bikash Yumnam, Naocha Singh, Vibin Mohanan, Matías Hernández, Danish Farooq, Marlon Roos-Trujillo, Kevin Yoke, Víctor Bertomeu. 

EAST BENGAL vs KERALA BLASTERS FC
Winning Prediction

Kerala Blasters FC arrive in poor form and look unlikely to trouble East Bengal FC in this clash. The Blasters have managed just one win in their last nine matches in the Indian Super League, highlighting their struggles. 

In contrast, East Bengal have been strong at home, remaining unbeaten in five of their last six league games. With form and momentum on their side, the hosts appear well placed to secure all three points.
