Kerala Blasters FC will aim to extend their unbeaten run when they host Odisha FC in the ISL on April 23. Fresh from a 2-0 win, the Blasters look to move up the table, while Odisha seek an away victory to widen the gap from the relegation zone in a closely matched rivalry.

Kochi, Wednesday, April 22, 2026: A resurgent Kerala Blasters FC will aim to build momentum and extend their unbeaten run when they host Odisha FC in Indian Super League 2025-26 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Thursday, April 23, 2026. The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:30 IST. The match will be streamed live on FanCode and telecast on Sony Sports Network.

Kerala Blasters FC will hope to build on their momentum after their 2-0 victory against Jamshedpur FC in their previous outing. Placed 11th with eight points from ten matches, a win on Thursday would take the Kochi outfit further away from the relegation zone and provide a platform for a steady climb up the standings.

Assistant coach Peter Hartley, who will be leading the Kerala Blasters from the touchline in place of the suspended head coach Ashley Westwood, emphasised adaptability in approach. “They are a strong side with multiple dimensions and look to play progressive football. While our core principles remain intact, we adjust based on the opposition,” he noted.

The coaching setup headed by Westwood has revived the Kerala Blasters season, which is evident in their performances. “We’re still in the process, but the improvement has been clear. In just 12 days, we’ve kept a clean sheet and earned seven points from the possible 12. For us, it’s not just about results, it’s about performance. If performances improve, results will follow,” Hartley added.
