Indian Super League: A resurgent Kerala Blasters FC will aim to build momentum and extend their unbeaten run when they host Odisha FC in a bottom-half scrap in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi, on Thursday.

Kerala Blasters FC will hope to continue their winning run after their 2-0 victory against Jamshedpur FC in their previous outing. Placed 11th with eight points from ten matches, a win on Thursday would take the Kochi outfit further away from the relegation zone and provide a platform for a steady climb up the standings.

Assistant coach Peter Hartley, who will be leading the Kerala Blasters from the touchline in place of the suspended head coach Ashley Westwood, emphasised adaptability in approach. “They are a strong side with multiple dimensions and look to play progressive football. While our core principles remain intact, we adjust based on the opposition,” he noted.
