Rahul will be back
K was sent off after seeing a red card in the match against ATK Mohun Bagan. P. It is a relief for the team that Rahul (KP Rahul) will return to the Kerala Blasters FC line-up. K. P. Rahul’s long shot attack makes Kerala Blasters FC dangerous this season. However, K. P. If there is more accuracy in Rahul’s long shots, the level will be different. In the play-off eliminator, K. P. Kerala Blasters FC fans are praying that Rahul’s long ranges will hit the target.
The final test is over
Ivan Vukomanović also conducted the final test in the league round for the 2022–2023 season. Kerala Blasters FC’s last test was against Hyderabad FC. Kerala Blasters FC played against Hyderabad FC in 3-4-3 style. Sahal Abdul Samad, Dimitrios Diamantakos and Adrian Luna joined the forward.
Midfield and forward line
The middle order consisted of Ayush Adhikari, Vibin Mohanan, Evan Kaliushni and Bryce Miranda. In defence, Ruiva Hormipalm, Marko Leskovic and Jesel Carneiro also came into the field. In this, Vibin Mohanan was on the field the entire time.
During the match, Ruiva Hormipam was withdrawn and Bejoy Varghese was replaced by Sahal Abdul Samad with Nihal Sudheesh. In other words, Ivan Vukomanovic has done the final tests before the match against Bengaluru FC.
Will the defense be strengthened?
The game will only be favorable if Kerala Blasters FC tighten up their defence. Kerala Blasters FC fielded only three players in defense against Hyderabad FC. Although Nishu Kumar was also used in the field, Nishu Kumar’s task was mostly on the wing. Kerala Blasters FC can win against Bengaluru FC only if they adopt some hard line like bus defense. And the opportunity should be taken advantage of.
Change of Bengaluru
Bengaluru FC is the most in-form ISL team in the 2023 calendar year. Bengaluru FC played eight matches in January and February and won eight of them. In the 2023 calendar year, they scored 19 goals and conceded only six goals. And beat Kerala Blasters FC 1 – 0.
Bengaluru mainly used a 3-5-2 formation during this time. In short, Kerala Blasters FC must find an antidote to overcome this style of combining attack and defense.
