TEAMS PREVIEW

Mohammedan SC Preview

The Black Panthers did start brightly in the league but they soon got the reality check when they got humiliated by rival Mun Bagan where they lost the match by 3-0. The scoreline could have been worse if the Mariners were not poor in front of the goal. 

Mohammedan SC's head coach said that he would make changes in the team so that they do not face the same humiliation once again. Against the Blasters they will look to get the second win of the season. Black Panthers fans are very vocal in the stands and surely will make the atmosphere as hostile as possible. The home team doesn't have any injury concerns. 

Key Player to Watch: (Mirjalol Kasimov): The man from Uzbekistan is one of the most versatile players in the league who can play at various midfield positions. Due to his versatility, he helps the team in every situation. Kasimov played a key role in Mohammedan SC’s promotion to the ISL. In the last few fixtures, his performance has been brilliant. His work ethic is top notch and he is capable of controlling the pace of the game. If he remains fit he will be a key player for the Black Panthers this season.

This will be the first time both teams face off in the league and surely this will be a mouthwatering fixture. Aiban Dohling is the player who will not be available due to injury. The rest of the squad is fit and will be available for the match. 

Key Player to Watch: (Jesus Jimenez): It is his first season in the Indian Super League and he has already scored goals and has adapted to his new team very well. The Spaniard has a lot of experience of playing football at the top level. He can become the best striker in the league if his partnership with Noah works consistently for the team.

He will be a key player for the Blasters this season for sure.
