ISL: Kerala Blasters vs Odisha match preview 

Kerala Blasters began their ISL campaign with a narrow 2-1 victory over ATK but lost their following encounters against Mumbai City FC and Hyderabad FC. Having conceded a goal each in all of their matches, keeping a clean sheet should be a priority for Eelco Schattorie and his team. Although against a defiant Odisha FC, it would be no easy task. Kerala Blasters pair Mario Arques and Gianni Zuiverloon have joined longterm absentee Sandesh Jhingan on the treatment table and are expected to miss the game on Friday.

On the other hand, Odisha FC also had a dismal start to the season, losing their first two matches by a one-goal margin. However, the team rallied well to pick up their first three points against Mumbai City FC in their next match as they scored four times in the game. Having scored in all three of their games, Odisha FC should be looking to extend the streak and bag another win. Josep Gombau has an injury-free squad at his disposal and will be gladly welcoming Carlos Delgado back into the fray after his suspension.
