Kerala Blasters form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Indian Super League travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Two away games in a row for Blasters, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Mumbai City. Before that loss this club had gained at least one point from eight league matches in a row. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Mumbai City was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Attacker Luna got a player rating of 7.34 in the game. "Man of the match" Luna hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 47 successful passes (of 57 total).
A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Jamshedpur.Kerala Blasters are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
