After letting three points slip away against NorthEast United, Kerala Blasters will be eager to make amends when they host Jamshedpur FC on Saturday (5 PM), hoping for a more clinical finish this time around.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Kerala Blasters FC Preview

Blasters came agonizingly close to their second win of the season against NorthEast United in the mid-week clash, taking the lead through an own goal before late heartbreak denied them at the finish. 

Even in defeat, there were plenty of positives to take, especially their defensive discipline, with Fallou Ndiaye producing a standout display of 16 clearances and also playing a key role in the move that led to the opener.

Ashley Westwood’s start as Kerala Blasters head coach has been mixed, but with four points from his first three matches, his side are now level on points with Odisha and Chennaiyin. 

A win on Saturday would not only move them above those teams, but also lift them past 10th-placed NorthEast United, making it a valuable chance to climb from 13th to 10th in the table.

Kerala Blasters Probable XI - Anwer Shaikh (GK); Saheef, Yumnam, Ndiaye, Hormipam Ruivah, Vibin Mohanan, Lallawmawma, Danish Farooq, Karim Benarif, Kevin Yoke, Bartomeu.  

Jamshedpur FC Preview

Jamshedpur are enduring a frustrating run, now winless in four league matches since their last victory over Inter Kashi on March 6. 

Each of their last three games has ended 1-1, with late equalisers highlighting both their resilience and their ongoing struggle to impose themselves earlier in matches or create enough scoring opportunities.

That issue was evident against Mumbai City, where the Men of Steel managed just two shots on target, one of which resulted in Sarthak Golui’s goal. 

While their position in the table remains unaffected for now, continued dropped points could see them slide down quickly. Expect a sharper, more purposeful display in the upcoming fixture as they look to turn draws into wins.

Jamshedpur FC Probable XI -  Albino Gomes (GK);  Nikhil Barla, Stephen Eze, Pratik Chowdhary, Mark Zothanpuia, Cirkovic, Stojanovic, Ritwik Das, Chawngthu, Mohammad Sanan,, Raphael Messi Bouli.

Winning Prediction

Away trips have rarely been kind to Jamshedpur in the ISL, especially in Kerala. The Men of Steel are winless in their last five visits here, drawing three and losing two, underlining how tough this fixture has been for them.

Interestingly, meetings between these sides have often been closely contested, with 1-1 scorelines or narrow one-goal margins being a recurring theme. Considering both teams’ recent struggles in front of goal, another tight encounter seems likely, making a draw a strong possibility. 

We predict a draw (1-1)
