Past History( Santosh Trophy only )
When the two teams met in the group stage early in the competition, the hosts triumphed 2-0. As a result, Kerala has a distinct advantage in terms of shape. Bengal, on the other hand, maybe able to rely on history. It has won the competition 32 times and finished the second 13 times.
Kerala has won the trophy a total of six times. Its most recent victory occurred in 2018 when it won a shootout over Bengal in Kolkata.
Four years and a pandemic later, the two Indian football superpowers are set to meet again in a thrilling final.
Head-To-Head
West Bengal has faced Kerala three times and has lost each time. Two of the games were outright victories, but one was decided on penalties in Kerala’s favour.
Players To Watch Out
The spotlight in this final will undoubtedly be on Kerala striker T.K. Jesin, who scored five goals in the semi-final after coming on as a substitute against Karnataka.
Another player Bengal should be mindful of is Jijo Joseph. Kerala’s captain has not only scored goals but has also created them.
Bengal can also play some excellent attacking football, as evidenced by its 3-0 semifinal victory over Manipur. Fardin Ali Moll and Dilip Orawn, the team’s forwards, could pose problems for Kerala’s defence.
