Kerala Blasters vs East Bengal Predictions

While both teams are short in winning form, we should still expect a competitive and entertaining ISL contest on Wednesday.

BTTS is my top pick at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium.

Kerala Blasters have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 10 matches
Kerala Blasters have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 home matches
Kerala Blasters have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches against East Bengal
East Bengal have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 matches
East Bengal have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 away matches

Head to Head

Wednesday's ISL fixture will be the eighth meeting between Kerala Blasters and East Bengal.

Kerala leads the H2H with three wins to East Bengal's one. Three of their seven previous encounters finished as 1-1 draws.

Kerala Blasters Form

Kerala Blasters made their return to ISL action following a three-week hiatus with a 1-1 draw at Jamshedpur on Saturday. Greek forward Dimitrios Diamantakos maintained his superb scoring form, with his 13th ISL goal of the campaign securing a vital away point.

Ivan Vukomanović's men have struggled for form this year, with seven defeats and only two wins from ten games played. Despite their poor run of results, the Tuskers are already assured of a place in the end-of-season playoffs.

Kerala Blasters Team News

Kerala boss Vukomanovic remains unable to call on several first-team players this Wednesday.

Kwame Peprah, Aibanbha Dohling, Jaushua Sotirio, Adrián Luna, and Sachin Suresh are all expected to miss out for the home side.

East Bengal Form

East Bengal arrive in Kochi having not played since a 3-1 home defeat against Mohun Bagan more than three weeks ago. The Red and Gold Brigade have lost four of their last five ISL matches, including each of the previous three.

On their travels, East Bengal have won just one of nine away matches this season, while they have lost each of their last three away fixtures. Carles Cuadrat's side are down in 11th in the ISL, four points outside of the playoff zone, with three games left to play in their regular season.

East Bengal Team News

East Bengal boss Cuadrat has no new injury issues ahead of East Bengal's first fixture since March 10th.

Jordan Elsey and José Antonio Pardo remain long-term absentees for the visitors.

Verdict

Kerala Blasters v East Bengal Club

Both teams are in a poor run of form but will see this fixture as an opportunity to get back to winning ways.

While I can't pick a winner, I fancy both teams to score in Kochi.

BTTS - Yes
