Kerala Blasters Team Profile
Kerala Blasters had a rather disappointing campaign last year, as they finished tenth in the table. They had to sack manager Kibu Vicuna in the middle of the season. He has since been replaced by Ivan Vukomanovic. Their most recent outing in the Durand Cup left a lot to be desired as well.
Their newly assembled forward line boasts of a lot of experience and can help them get the much-needed goals to win games.
Sahal Abdul Samad will be one of the key midfielders for the Blasters this time around. He has been in good form recently and can give them the creative spark they need.
The presence of Alvaro Vasquez will also be a huge boost to them to possibly finish higher this time around.
