Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Kerala Blasters FC head coach Mikael Stahre said that they have to attack more in the upcoming match.


"We have to attack with more players, have more passers, be more precise and technical, and, ultimately, more effective. I'm positive, but right now, it's really painful to handle this defeat. But we will bounce back," Stahre was quoted by ISL as saying.


Meanwhile, East Bengal head coach Carles Cuadrat accepted that it will be a tough match for them against the Kerala-based franchise.


"The last game was a difficult one to start the season, but now we move forward. It will be a tough match tomorrow. The pressure will also be on Kerala Blasters FC (because of their previous result), so they'll be competitive. Our aim is to play well, be competitive, and fight back tomorrow," Cuadrat said.


For the Yellow Army, Jesus Jimenez, who scored in his debut the other night against Punjab FC, will likely play a crucial role in the upcoming match. Meanwhile, East Bengal will be reliant on Dimitrios Diamantakos for goals, as he won the ISL 2023-24 Golden Boot last season during his stay at the Blasters, with 13 strikes to his name.
