When playing at home in the Indian Super League, Kerala Blasters, who have the most conceded goals (21) in Indian Super League, have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 6 games.

A nice win for Kerala Blasters last time playing, versus Bengaluru. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Rahul Kannoly and Lalthathanga Khawlhring scoring for the victors. Preceding that game was the away draw at East Bengal that finished 1-1.

A late climax in the match against Bengaluru as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Rahul Kannoly.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Indian Super League game versus Jamshedpur in only four days. This game is also played here at GMC Stadium.

A decent goal production from Blasters in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
