ISL 2017: 5 reasons why Kerala Blasters will defeat ATK on the opening day

#5 Home comforts

Kerala's fans are reputed for the atmosphere they create

Kochi has been a difficult place for away sides to go get points at in the ISL. The fans and the atmosphere that they create has served the Kerala Blasters well since inception.

In a late decision, the organizers decided that this season opener would be a home game for the Blasters and not ATK. Playing on their home turf inside the cauldron that is the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Kochi, the Blasters are a tough nut to crack even otherwise.

With the new additions to the squad and the yellow army behind them, ATK might truly be overwhelmed on the pitch and on the scoreboard.
