KBFC vs JFC Match Preview
Kerala Blasters took one over Bengaluru FC in the first league meeting since their walkout controversy with a 2-0 victory. In front of a breath-taking atmosphere in Kochi, the Blues made two costly mistake leading to the goals with Keziah Veendorp heading into his own net from a corner and goalkeeper Gurpreet’s cheaply give away the ball for Adrian Luna to roll it into the empty net. Both the mistakes came from the relentless pressure by the Blasters from their players as well as the crowd in the stadium. The win in the fixture that gave a bad look on them last time was an ideal start to the new ISL season and they will hope to carry the momentum against Jamshedpur FC in the second consecutive home game. They have never lost this fixture to the Men of Steel in Kochi with their first victory after six consecutive draws came last season.
Jamshedpur FC start to their ISL season was not with a victory but a goalless draw against East Bengal at the Salt Lake Stadium. The point earned might not be a bad result considering the Red and
Gold is showing revival signs under new boss Carles Cuadrat and went on to win against playoff regulars Hyderabad FC in their next game. However, they will be worried about their lack of attacking grit against the Durand Cup finalists managing just a short on target. Without TP Rehenesh making incredible saves to rescue his side, the Men of Steel could have lost the game as well. Against a much bigger threat in Kerala Blasters that too with the support at Kochi, Jamshedpur will hope they put an end to their losing streak by improving from their opening day showing. A win will give take them to the top four on the table which they will not want to miss.
