Bengaluru FC vs. Kerala Blasters FC: Winning Prediction

Bengaluru FC

  • Current form: Inconsistent. They haven’t won a match in their last 4 games, drawing 2 and losing 2.
  • Recent performance against Kerala Blasters: Won their last encounter against Kerala Blasters 1-0 on February 11th, 2023.
  • Home advantage: Playing at their home stadium, the Sree Kanteerava Outdoor Stadium, could be a slight advantage.

Kerala Blasters FC

  • Current form: Relatively better than Bengaluru FC. They have won 2, drawn 1, and lost 1 in their last 4 games.
  • Recent performance against Bengaluru FC: Lost their last encounter against Bengaluru FC 1-0 on February 11th, 2023.
  • Head-to-head record: Bengaluru FC has a slight edge in the head-to-head record, winning 8 out of 16 encounters, with Kerala Blasters winning 4 and 4 ending in draws.

Prediction

While Bengaluru FC holds the historical advantage and home advantage, their recent inconsistent form raises doubts about their ability to secure a win. Kerala Blasters, despite losing their last encounter to Bengaluru, have shown better form recently.

Based on current form, Kerala Blasters appear to have a slight edge. However, considering the unpredictability of football and Bengaluru’s home advantage, a draw is also a possibility.

About Indian Super League (ISL)

The Indian Super League (ISL) is the men’s highest level of the Indian football league system. It was founded on 21 October 2013 with the aim of growing the sport of football in India and increasing its exposure in the country. The league is co-promoted by Reliance, Star India, and supported by the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

The ISL began play in October 2014 with eight teams. During its first three seasons, the competition operated without official recognition from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which is 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, extended its schedule to six months, and earned recognition from the AFC. The season runs from September to March and includes a 22-round regular season followed by playoffs involving the top six teams, culminating with the ISL Final to determine the champions. At the end of the regular season, the team with the most points is declared the premiers and presented with the League Winners’ Shield.

Currently, the league comprises 12 clubs. ISL clubs gain qualification to the Asian continental club competitions; regular-season premiers qualify directly for the subsequent season’s AFC Cup group stage. The league has received unmatched visibility in a short span of time and is speculated to be one of the top-tier leagues in India after the I-League.
