Sat Dec 07 15:52:23 UTC 2024: ## Kerala Blasters Seek Revenge Against Bengaluru FC in High-Stakes ISL Clash
**Bengaluru, India** – A crucial Indian Super League (ISL) encounter is set to ignite the rivalry between Bengaluru FC and Kerala Blasters FC on December 7th at 7:30 PM IST at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. Kerala Blasters, aiming to avenge their home defeat to Bengaluru earlier in the season, face a formidable opponent enjoying an impressive home record.
Bengaluru FC currently sits comfortably in second place with 20 points from 10 matches (6 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses). Their home form is particularly strong, boasting an unbeaten streak at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium this season. A win against Kerala would push them to 16 points from their first six home games, a new club record.
In contrast, Kerala Blasters find themselves in 10th position with 11 points (3 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses) after 10 matches. Their recent form is a cause for concern, having only secured one victory in their last five matches. This match is even more significant for Kerala as it marks their 200th ISL game.
The historical head-to-head record heavily favors Bengaluru FC, who have won 10 out of the 16 previous encounters between the two teams. Sunil Chhetri’s seven goals against Kerala highlight Bengaluru’s dominance in this fixture. Kerala, however, will be looking to overcome their poor record at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, where they have yet to win in five attempts (4 losses, 1 draw).
Key players to watch include Bengaluru FC’s Jorge Pereyra Diaz, who has a knack for scoring against Kerala, and Kerala Blasters’ Noah Sadaoui, whose impressive number of touches in the opponent’s box makes him a significant threat.
The match will be broadcast live on JioCinema in English, Hindi, Bengali, and Malayalam, as well as on Sports18 and Asianet Plus. Selected matches will also be aired on Star Sports 3 from December 2024. The clash promises a thrilling encounter between two of the ISL’s most passionate teams.
