Bengaluru FC (BFC) aims to extend its stronghold at home, while Kerala Blasters look to climb up from a disappointing 10th position in the league standings. This highly anticipated clash promises to draw a massive crowd, with fans eager for the electrifying action.
The Blues, currently second in the table, have amassed an impressive 13 points from their first five home games this season. Known for their consistent scoring at home, BFC will count on their veteran striker and top scorer, Sunil Chhetri. At 40, Chhetri is expected to make a substitute appearance and leave his mark once again.
Sharing his thoughts on the matchup, Chhetri described the BFC-KBFC rivalry as one of the league’s most thrilling fixtures. “When we first played Kerala, I never imagined it would grow into such a massive rivalry. Whether in Kochi or Bengaluru, fans circle this game on their calendars. It’s always a spectacle,” he said.
Kerala Blasters, coming off a 0-1 defeat to FC Goa — their first goalless outing this season — will rely on Moroccan forward Noah Sadaoui’s creativity to spark their attack. In defense, Milos Drincic, known for his solid performances, will aim to neutralize the Bengaluru frontline.
As the teams prepare for this marquee showdown, all eyes are on whether BFC can maintain its dominance or if Kerala can stage a resurgence.
