Bengaluru FC vs Kerala Blasters FC Prediction: Kerala have not won at Kanteerava

Bengaluru FC will welcome Kerala Blasters FC in the 19th game week of the ISL at Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru. This game goes beyond a game of football with the rivalries between these two sides. Both the teams will be looking for a win and get the bragging rights for till they meet net time. Who will win?

Bengaluru started the season very slowly and was one of the sides at the bottom of the table. They have grown fairly well since the turn of the year and now have five wins in a row. The recent performances have been good but they will not be able to stop and take a breather as they are still in the seventh spot with 25 points two points away from playoffs position. A game against Kerala comes at a very crucial stage where they can win the local rivalry and also go into the playoffs places. They can also take revenge for the loss they suffered earlier in the hands of Kerala this season.

The yellow army has had a better season than their Saturday rivals this season. Sitting in the third spot with 31 points to their name they look ready for the playoffs. The team is coming on the back of a 2-1 win over Chennaiyin. The game against Bengaluru is never easy given the rivalry between these two sides despite their position at the table. Kerala is yet to win a game at Kanteerava and they will be hoping to knick their first win.

The game will have plenty of fireworks and an end-to-end game with goals over 2.5 goals in the game. Kerala has not done well against a team lower in the table away from home this season. We expect Bengaluru to win this one and make great strides towards playoff spots.
