Kerala Blasters FC host Mohammedan SC on Sunday at 5 PM in a clash that could prove decisive in the relegation battle. A victory for the Blasters would secure their path to safety, while Mohammedan must win to keep their survival hopes alive.
Both sides head into the contest with momentum, as Kerala arrive on the back of consecutive victories and Mohammedan carry confidence from a string of hard-fought draws.
Current Standings: The Blasters sit at the eighth position in the table with just 11 points from 11 games, while Mohammedan continues to languish at the last position in the table with three points from 10 matches.
Head-to-head Record: The Blasters emerged victorious in both encounters between the two sides in the ISL.
Kerala Blasters FC looked destined for a relegation battle after losing five of their opening six matches in the campaign without a single win. But the arrival of Ashley Westwood has completely changed the mood around the club.
Since taking charge from David Catala, Westwood has guided the Blasters to three wins, one draw and just one defeat, with the team now unbeaten in four and riding a two-match winning streak.
Victories over former champions Bengaluru FC and an in-form Jamshedpur FC have highlighted their resurgence, while a dramatic 2-1 win over Odisha FC last time out — sealed by Matias Hernandez goal in stoppage time — has pushed the Blasters level on points with Kashi and within touching distance of safety from relegation with two games to play.
Key Players
Ebindas Yesudasan has been one of Kerala Blasters’ standout performers this season, providing a real creative spark in the midfield with four assists, including the decisive setup against Odisha FC for Victor Bertomeu’s winner. Bertomeu, meanwhile, has hit form at the right time and currently leads the Blasters’ scoring charts with three goals.
Kerala Blasters Probable XI - Anwer Shaikh (GK); Saheef, Yumnam, Ndiaye, Nihal Sudeesh, Vibin Mohanan, Lallawmawma, Danish Farooq, Franchu, Kevin Yoke, Bartomeu.
It has been two weeks since Mohammedan SC last featured in the Indian Super League, and they return carrying some momentum after three consecutive draws. Their latest outing, a high-scoring clash against Sporting Delhi, saw them fight back twice through goals from Adisom Singh and Hira Mondal.
Much like their previous matches, Mohammedan absorbed heavy pressure — facing 17 shots — but still managed to make the most of limited chances (xG of 1.09).
Despite that resilience, the Black Panthers remain deep in relegation trouble after suffering seven defeats this season. With only three games left, their survival hopes are slim, and realistically they may need to win all of them to stand any chance of staying up.
Key Players
Hira Mondal and Adison Singh have emerged as key figures for Mohammedan SC in recent weeks. Mondal leads the side for goal involvements this season with three contributions (1G+2A), while Adison has found form at the right time with two goals in his last three matches. With survival hopes hanging by a thread, coach Wadoo will once again look to the duo to inspire something special.
Mohammedan SC Probable XI - Padam Chettri (GK); Zodingliana Ralte, Sajad Hussain Parray, Gaurav Bora, Hira Mondal Yash Chickro, Tangva Ragui, Lalngaihsaka Makan Winkle Chothe, Lalremsanga Fanai, Adison Singh.
Kerala Blasters FC have dominated this fixture in the past, winning both previous meetings against Mohammedan SC by an aggregate score of 5-1. Considering the Blasters’ strong recent form and Mohammedan’s miserable run of just one win in their last 31 ISL matches, anything other than a home victory would come as a major surprise.
Not surprisingly, bookmakers favour Blasters as well, pricing them at 1.34, with Mohammadan’s at 7.37 and the draw at 4.6.
