Bengaluru picked up just 10 points from their first 12 matches before finishing with eight successive victories to end the regular season fourth.

The Blues recorded wins over NorthEast United 2-1, Odisha 3-1, Jamshedpur 3-0, Chennaiyin 3-1, ATK Mohun Bagan 2-1 and Kerala Blasters 1-0.

A spot in the finals was sealed when Simon Grayson's side became the first side to defeat ISL leaders Mumbai City with a 2-1 win. They then signed off with a 3-1 victory over Goa last week.

Kerala Blasters lost their way at the business end of the season but still finished fifth despite losing six of their last eight matches.

That includes three straight defeats most recently for Kerala, who went down to Bengaluru 1-0, ATK Mohun Bagan 2-1 and Hyderabad 1-0.

The Blasters do have ISL finals pedigree have reached the final last year before losing out to eventual champions Hyderabad.
