Kerala Blasters vs East Bengal Live Preview
Following a successfully pre-season in UAE, Kerala Blasters will be itching to get into the groove. Having finished just short of the ISL trophy last year, Ivan & co will be looking to reach similar feats if not going all the way to clinch the victory. With the new format in place, Hero ISL 2022-23 seems it would be more competitive as Kerala Blasters will feel comfortable with fans backing them after two long years. On the other hand, the side from Kolkata had gone through a complete reshuffle as Stephen Constantine became their head coach in August. East Bengal played the 131st edition of the Durand Cup to prepare for the ISL, and they also went on to defeat star-studded Mumbai City FC in a 4-3 thriller. However, they bowed out of the group stage, finishing fourth behind Mumbai, Rajasthan, and ATKMB. The squad is now together for multiple weeks as Stephen Constantine is very much optimistic that his players would give their best to secure as many points as possible.
