TEAMS PREVIEW

Kerala Blasters FC Preview

Kerala Blasters finally clicked at home in their last outing, securing their first home win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Jamshedpur. 

First-half goals from Keralaites Nihal Sudeesh and Vibin Mohanan set the tone, while Anwer Shaikh’s four saves ensured their first clean sheet of the campaign.

That result extended their unbeaten run to three matches (W2 D1), a remarkable turnaround after a seven-game winless streak. 

Under Ashley Westwood, the Blasters are beginning to find rhythm—picking up seven points from four games—and now sit just a win away from drawing level with Inter Kashi in eighth. 

The Blasters are having a disastrous run at home where they only won one of the six matches played, while they lost four and drew one match scoring 5 and conceded 8 goals. 

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

Odisha FC Preview

In contrast to Kerala Blasters’ resurgence, Odisha FC have hit a slump, going three games without a win since their emphatic 4-1 victory over NorthEast in March. 

While they did end a losing streak, dropping points against bottom-placed Mohammedan—who had yet to register any—was a major setback.

They took the lead through Suhair VP in that match but had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The result pushed them deeper into trouble, leaving them in the relegation zone and one point adrift of safety.

Odisha FC played four away games this season, where they won one and lost three matches scoring six and conceding 10 goals. 

Odisha FC Probable XI - Amrinder Singh (GK); Chhakchhuk, Carlos Delgado, Thoiba Singh, Shubham Bhattacharya, Khawlhring, Rohit Kumar, Rahul KP, Isak Vanlalruatfela, Rahim Ali, Lalrinfela Khiangte.  

KERALA BLASTERS FC vs ODISHA FC
Winning Prediction

Kerala Blasters head into this clash as slight favourites, backed by both their recent form and a strong head-to-head record at this venue (6 wins to 2). Odisha’s struggles on the road—losing three of their four away games—also tilt the balance in the hosts’ favour.

The odds reflect this edge, with the Blasters priced at 1.88, compared to Odisha’s 3.81, while a draw stands at 3.28.
