ISL 2024-25: Kerala Blasters Target First-ever Double Over East Bengal FC
East Bengal FC come into this game on the back of a three-match losing streak, with their longest such run within a single season being six consecutive defeats earlier in this campaign. A fourth consecutive loss would see them join NorthEast United FC as the only teams to register multiple losing streaks of four or more games in a single ISL season. Kerala Blasters, meanwhile, snapped their four-game away losing streak with a 1-0 win against Punjab FC on January 5. They will look to secure back-to-back away victories for the first time since December 2023.
The team has shown remarkable improvement under interim head coach TG Purushothaman. Their goals conceded per game average has come down to 0.6 from 2.0 under Mikael Stahre, and Kerala Blasters FC have not permitted their opponents to register an expected goals (xG) value of more than 1 in any of the five games under Purushothaman.
