Good save by Arsh Shaikh! The first shot on target comes from the Blues, as Ryan Williams takes a crack at the Kerala Blasters goal, though a relatively weak one. Arsh keeps it out and the scoreline stays at 0-0.
The Blasters have made an encouraging start, in contrast to how they have fared this season otherwise. Ashley Westwood's entry seems to have had an impact, though it is too late in terms of title contention.
The two teams stride out to the pitch and after the pre-match formalities, play is underway at Sree Kanteerava Stadium. Bengaluru, in their trademark blue, kicking from left to right and Kerala Blasters, in white, going the other way in the first half.
Bengaluru FC have dominated this match-up. In 17 previous Indian Super League meetings, the Blues have claimed 11 wins to Kerala Blasters FC's four, with just two matches ending in a draw. The two sides last met in Bengaluru in December 2024, where the hosts secured a 4-2 victory.
Check out Kerala Blasters' line-up for their daunting away challenge:
