The Indian Super League is back after the international break and club football could prove a welcome distraction to the Blue Tigers' struggles in qualification, as they were held to a 1-1 draw against Afghanistan and were edged out 1-0 by Oman. Defending champions Bengaluru FC host arch-rivals Kerala Blasters FC and tempers will flare, as both teams seek three points and in turn, bragging rights.
Going into the game, both sides have registered just a solitary victory so far this season and will look to gain momentum in the coming weeks, as they aim to make it through to the knockout stages. Bengaluru are unbeaten against the Blasters and will look to build on their 3-0 demolition of Chennaiyin FC in their previous league encounter, as talisman Sunil Chhetri finally got off the mark for the season.
