Bengaluru FC vs Kerala Blasters, Super Cup: Head-to-Head record, telecast, live streaming details and all you need to know
One of the biggest rivalries in Indian football, Bengaluru FC vs Kerala Blasters will take place in EMS Stadium, Kozhikode on Sunday in the Super Cup. The Group A encounter could decide the fate of both sides in the competition as the loser is guaranteed to exit.
The last time these two teams faced off, which was in Indian Super League (ISL), it had drama, controversy and portrayal of rivalry on the field. With Bengaluru FC skipper Sunil Chettri scoring off a quick free kick, which displeased Kerala Blasters players and manager Ivan Vukomanović, the men in yellow stunned everyone by walking off the field. And this time, perhaps, Vukomanović might have a point to prove.
“It was nice to get the win and the clean sheet in the last game. But the focus firmly remains on what we need to do to win the next game. The significance of the game on Sunday makes it a massive game for us,” said Bengaluru FC Head Coach Simon Grayson ahead of their clash against Kerala Blasters on Sunday.
“Whenever you play Kerala Blasters, you know that it’s a big game, for the bragging rights on the pitch and off it as well. It has all the ingredients of a fantastic game, with the spice of the rivalry, and I expect a good crowd in the stadium which we are all looking forward to,” added the Englishman.
“You can only control what you do, and we can’t let what happens in the other game affect us. We have to make sure that we are ruthless in both boxes and try to limit the Blasters to as few opportunities as possible,” concluded the 53-year-old.
