Key Players to Watch:
Kerala Blasters
Adrian Luna
Luna’s vision and ability to orchestrate attacks will be crucial against Bengaluru. His knack for threading through balls and delivering pin-point set pieces makes him a constant threat.
Noah Sadaoui
With his pace and directness, Noah can trouble any defence. His cutting runs from the flanks and lethal finishing in the box will be an advantage in this match. Having missed the home match against Bengaluru, he will be determined to deliver his best against the Blues on their turf.
Kwame Peprah
The striker’s physicality and aerial prowess make him a potent weapon in the final third. Peprah’s ability to hold up play and link with midfielders could be key to unlocking Bengaluru’s defence.
Sachin Suresh
Despite conceding against Goa, Sachin has been a reliable presence between the posts. Returning from injury, Sachin made an immediate impact with a clean sheet against Chennaiyin FC. His confidence and command in goal will be vital as the Blasters aim to shut out Bengaluru’s attack.
