Kolkata, Feb. 2 -- Kerala Blasters will have the opportunity to establish a four-point cushion over ATK Mohun Bagan in the Indian Super League (ISL) if they nab all three points against East Bengal FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Friday.
A win will be crucial at this juncture for the Blasters to be confident in the playoff spots, while the Torch Bearers are out of contention for the same.
East Bengal FC are currently ninth on the table and ten points shy of the final playoff spot. Last week, the Torch Bearers scored two second-half goals but ended up losing 4-2 against FC Goa.
With an eye on next season, East Bengal FC are in search of their second win at home this season in what will be their eighth game here...
