Two away games in a row for Blasters, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-4 versus ATK Mohun Bagan in the Indian Super League.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting NorthEast United's place.The schedule is very tough for Blasters now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Indian Super League game at Bengaluru is waiting in only three days.
