TEAMS PREVIEW

Forca Kochi FC Preview

Forca Kochi’s last outing against Calicut FC was one for the books, delivering eight goals — the highest-scoring game of the season — and the league’s first hat-trick. Sadly for Kochi, all the excitement came at their expense as they slumped to a sixth straight defeat, leaving them in a must-win situation for the remainder of the campaign. 

On the brighter side, Kochi finally found some spark in attack, netting more than once in a match for the first time this season thanks to Van Kessel Gino’s brace. They’ll now look to build on that momentum — adding goals up front while tightening things up at the back.

Gino might have stolen the spotlight with his brace, but it was Amos Kirya who quietly pulled the strings for Kochi late in the second-half. Coming off the bench against Calicut, the midfielder injected life into their attack, creating multiple chances and setting up the second goal. It might just be time for Miquel Plana to hand him a well-deserved start.

Forca Kochi FC Probable XI - MD Rafique (GK); MD Mushraf, Ronald van Kessel, Rijohn Jose, Rodriguez, Gifty C, Rachid AIT, Nijo Gilbert, Sreeraj, Douglas Rosa, Amos Kriya. 

Thiruvananthapuram Kombans FC Preview

For the Kombans, it was a night that couldn’t have gone any better. After losing 3-2 to Kannur earlier, they turned the tables in style with a 3-1 win in the reverse fixture, thanks to a brace from Bispo Autemar and a goal from Jasim Muhammed thus ending Kannur’s unbeaten streak in the process. 

The result couldn’t have come at a better time either, closing the gap on the top four. With momentum finally swinging their way, the Kombans will be eager to build on it and push past Kannur in the standings with another win on Saturday.

Last season’s Super League top scorer, Autemar Bispo, has finally found his rhythm. After a slow start, the Kombans’ talisman looks back to his lethal best, netting three goals in his last three outings — including a brace in the previous game. And up against Kochi’s fragile backline, Bispo in this kind of form could prove unstoppable.

Thiruvananthapuram Kombans Probable XI - A Anjanneya (GK); Abdul Badish, S.R Singh, Filipe Alves, S Valan; Patrick Mota, NR Singh, Akshay PM;  Autemar Bispo, Ronald Makalysten, M. Ashar. 

FORCA KOCHI FC vs THIRUVANANTHAPURAM KOMBANS FC
Winning Prediction

Thiruvananthapuram Kombans finally ended their barren run against Kochi in the last meeting, and that victory seems to have injected fresh confidence into the side. With their talisman back in form and the team showing renewed attacking intent, Thiruvananthapuram Kombans will back themselves to make it two wins on the trot. 

Kochi, on the other hand, have looked vulnerable at the back throughout the campaign, conceding 15 goals — twice as many as Kombans — which remains their biggest concern. As a result, we would like to back the Kombans for a win. 

Thiruvananthapuram Kombans to win (2-0)
