Kerala Blasters FC will take on Odisha FC in a crucial Indian Super League (ISL) match on April 23, 2026, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi, Kerala. Kerala Blasters, currently positioned 11th with eight points from ten matches, aims to build on their recent 2-0 victory against Jamshedpur FC and extend their unbeaten streak. Assistant coach Peter Hartley, filling in for the suspended head coach Ashley Westwood, highlighted the team's adaptability against a strong Odisha side. Meanwhile, Odisha FC, sitting 13th with six points from seven matches, seeks to improve their standing after a recent 1-1 draw against Mohammedan Sporting Club. The match is significant for both teams as they look to distance themselves from the relegation zone. Historically, the two teams have faced off in 26 ISL matches, with both sides winning nine times and eight matches ending in draws. The last encounter saw Kerala narrowly win 3-2 in January 2025. As both teams prepare for this critical clash, the focus will be on performance and maintaining defensive discipline.
