Preview: BengaluruVs Kerala Blasters

East Bengal: Having lost their last three straight games, the Torchbearers have witnessed their playoff hopes more or less diminished. All Oscar Bruzon’s side can do now is to look to get maximum points from their last eight ISL league stage matches. To even have a chance of reigniting their playoff hopes, East Bengal will need to start winning games.

That is why winning this game against Kerala Blasters at home is so important. Bruzon has to get his side to be more proactive in the opposition half and, more importantly, finish off their chances clinically. A win can at least help them regain their confidence levels, but another loss can end the interest levels of the fans for good.

Kerala Blasters: The Tuskers have been performing pretty well under the guidance of T. G. Purushothaman, being unbeaten in their last three matches. But it’s vital for the Kerala Blasters to regain their winning run and have a chance of keeping the pressure on the other teams vying for sixth place.

Kerala Blasters are facing East Bengal when they’re at a low point and struggling with injuries, so they need to take advantage of their superior confidence levels to oust the Red & Gold Brigade. They just need to be ruthless in taking advantage of their opportunities to get a win, as a draw or loss can cause Kerala Blasters to move very far behind in the playoff race.

About Indian Super League:

History

The Indian Super League (ISL) is the highest level of the men's Indian football league system. Administered by the AIFF and its commercial partner FSDL, the league is currently contested by 13 clubs.

The season runs from September to March and includes a 24-round regular season followed by playoffs involving the top six teams, culminating with the ISL Final to determine the ISL Cup winners. At the end of the regular season, the team with the most points is declared the ISL champions and presented with the League Winners' Shield. Until 2021–22 season, the ISL Cup winners were designated as champions but later from 2022–23 season, the champions design was given to table toppers instead of playoff champions.

Currently, the league only follows promotion in the promotion and registration processes. ISL clubs qualify for the Asian continental club competitions; League Shield winners qualify directly for the next season's AFC Champions League Two group stage.

The competition was founded on 21 October 2013 to grow the sport of football in India and increase its exposure in the country. Play began in October 2014 with eight teams. During its first three seasons, the competition operated without official recognition from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the governing body for the sport in Asia. It was structured along the same lines as the Indian Premier League, the country's premier Twenty20 franchise-based cricket competition. Each season lasted just three months, from October to December, and matches were held daily. However, before the 2017-18 season, the league expanded to ten teams, expanded its schedule to six months, and earned recognition from the AFC. Two of India's most historic clubs - Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, also joined the ISL. With ATK disbanding, the 2020–21 season had 11 clubs competing.

The ISL attained the sole top-tier league status from the 2022–23 season with the I-League demoted to the second tier. The 2023–24 season saw a promoted team from the I-League participating in the ISL for the first time ever. Punjab FC, as the 2022–23 I-League champions, became the 12th team in the league. The following year, Mohammedan SC joined the league as the 13th club as champions of the I-League.

Since the league's inaugural season, six clubs have won the ISL Cup title: ATK (3), Chennaiyin (2), Mumbai City (2), Bengaluru (1), Hyderabad (1) and Mohun Bagan (1).

Since the introduction of the League Winners' Shield in the 2019–20 season, Mumbai City has won it twice, while FC Goa, Jamshedpur FC and Mohun Bagan have won it one time each.
