TEAMS PREVIEW

Kerala Blasters FC Preview

The Tuskers made history in Chennai, securing their first-ever ISL win at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and completing a stunning league double over the Marina Machans. Indeed, it was a night to remember! More importantly, the win kept the Blasters in the top-six race and gave their fans a rare away victory to celebrate, their second one in three games. 

When Mikael Stahre was sacked, even the most die-hard Blasters fan wouldn’t have imagined them just seven points off the playoffs with a game in hand and five matches left. Credit to Thomas Tchorz and TG Purushothaman for bringing order to chaos. But with matches against four of the top teams left, the road ahead is daunting. Nevertheless, they are in with a good chance to make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive time. 

Stats that matter

1. The Blasters have won three of their last five games at home and have remained unbeaten in the last three home games.
2. Four of the Blasters' last five games have seen a red card—two of them for their own players.
3. Kerala Blasters FC score 30% of their goals in the period of 61-75.
4. Jesus Jimenez is their top scorer with 11 goals. 

Kerala Blasters FC Probable XI - S. Suresh(GK); Drincic, P. Kotal, Ruivah, H. N. Singh, Lallawmawma, Coeff, Sadoui, Thingujam, Peprah, A. Luna

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

With each game, Bagan moves closer to defending their league shield. Their win over Punjab takes them to 46 points with four matches left, needing just two more to stay ahead of FC Goa, who can only reach 47. It means, the Mariners have confirmed their ticket to the playoffs and are guaranteed to finish in top two. 

When a team is winning, especially like the Mariners, the spotlight often shines on the attackers. But Vishal Kaith deserves just as much credit. With 60 saves, he ranks third in the league—a remarkable feat for a top-table side. Furthermore, his clean sheet against the Shers in Matchweek 21 was his 12th of the season, setting a new ISL record for the most in a single campaign.

Stats that matter

1. Mohun Bagan are currently on an eight match unbeaten streak.
2. With 12 clean sheets to their name, Mohun Bagan have recorded the most in the competition.
3. Mohun Bagan have scored 23% of their goals in the period of 31-45.
4. Jamie Maclaren is Bagan’s top scorer with 8 goals.
