As of the latest data, the Blasters have secured five wins against East Bengal, while the Kolkata side has managed three victories. In the context of the ISL, Kerala leads 3-2 in head-to-head matches since the league’s inception. The two teams first faced each other in the 2020-21 season, ending in a 1-1 draw.
