Speaking ahead of the game, PFC Head Coach Staikos Vergetis said, "We will have to execute all our plans against a very strong team in Kerala Blasters. We have improved a lot as a defensive unit but we need to fine-tune our offensive game. It is the first season for most of our players and as youngsters we make sure that they are concentrated in the match. We lost points because of some individual errors which were caused because of lack of experience".
PFC defender Nitesh Darjee during the pre-match press conference said, "It was tough for me in the beginning of the season to adapt but with the help of coaches and my team members I have become better. We hope for a very good performance against a top side like Kerala. I am happy to be back in Delhi where I played last season". ISL 2023–24: Bengaluru FC Appoints Gerard Zaragoza As New Head Coach.
