ISL 2019-20: 5 things to look out for in the first week

#2 Two early home games for a revamped Kerala Blasters to prove their worth

Eelco Schattorie's been trusted to take Kerala Blasters to the top of ISL.

Kerala Blasters were quick to make changes to their squad after last season saw them pick up only two victories. Distraught with the results, their vociferous fans even boycotted home games. Their new coach Eelco Schattorie has pleaded with them not to repeat it and wants the fans to be their twelfth man.

In a short league like ISL, two early home games should be enough to figure out whether the club will experience a change in fortunes or traverse the same downhill path. As, for their new players, it remains to be seen if they have had enough time to get used to life in Kerala.

Kerala Blasters have a completely overhauled squad with a good mix of local players. First up though will be ATK, who are no pushovers. Mumbai City FC will be next and with Jorge Costa's team having beaten the Blasters handsomely last season, the Dutchman would look forward to get revenge for his new side.
