TEAMS PREVIEW

Kerala Blasters FC Preview

Amid speculation surrounding the club’s future in the ISL, Kerala Blasters have responded in impressive fashion under Ashley Westwood, turning around a disastrous start to the season to finish with pride intact. After losing five of their opening six matches, the Blasters are now chasing a fourth straight home win following an entertaining 3-1 victory over Mohammedan SC.

Kevin Yoke stole the show in that game with a dazzling display that produced two assists, three big chances and four key passes, while Francisco Feuillassier, Victor Bertomeu and Sreekuttan got on the scoresheet. The result extended Kerala’s unbeaten run to five matches, and another win on Monday could secure an encouraging mid-table finish. 

Key Players 

Alongside Kevin Yoke, Ebindas Yesudasan and Victor Bertomeu have emerged as key figures for Kerala Blasters this season. Ebindas has provided creativity and control from midfield with four assists, while Bertomeu has found his scoring touch towards the end, leading the club’s charts with four goals and heading into the game on a two-match scoring streak.

Kerala Blasters Probable XI - Anwer Shaikh (GK); Saheef, Yumnam, Ndiaye, Nihal Sudeesh, Vibin Mohanan, Lallawmawma, Danish Farooq, Franchu, Kevin Yoke, Bartomeu. 

FC Goa Preview

FC Goa showed plenty of character in their penultimate match of the season, fighting back to earn a 1-1 draw against reigning champions Mohun Bagan after a tactical triple substitution changed by Manolo Marquez the flow of the game. 

Substitute Ronny Willson grabbed the equaliser, but the standout performer was 21-year-old goalkeeper Bob Jackson, who marked only his second appearance of the season with three crucial saves and a deserved Player of the Match award.

However, the draw, coupled with the defeat in their previous outing against Jamshedpur, has all but ended Goa’s title hopes. Sitting fifth with 20 points and trailing the leaders with little room left to catch up, the Gaurs now shift their focus toward ending the season on a positive note on the road after losing their last away game.

Key Players 

Dejan Drazic once again underlined his importance to Goa with the decisive assist against Mohun Bagan, taking his season tally to nine goal contributions — six goals and three assists. As the Gaurs prepare for their final game of the campaign, Manolo Marquez will be hoping his talisman can deliver one more time.

FC Goa Probable XI - Bob Jackson​ (GK);  Boris Singh, Sandesh Jhingan, Pol Moreno, Aakash Sangwan, Harsh Patre, Ayush Chhetri, Udanta Singh, Muhammed Nemil, Brison Fernandes, Drazic.  

KERALA BLASTERS FC vs FC GOA
Winning Prediction

Kerala Blasters head into this contest in red-hot form, having collected 13 points from their last five matches — the best return of any side in the league during that period. They have also won their last three home games, making them a difficult side to face at the moment. 

However, FC Goa have been one of the strongest travelling teams this season, suffering just one away defeat, and their strong record against the Blasters over the years gives them a slight edge in what promises to be a tightly contested encounter.

Not surprisingly, bookmakers favour Goa as well, pricing them at 2, with Kerala’s  at 3.3 and the draw at 3.25.
