TEAMS PREVIEW

Thrissur Magic FC Preview

Thrissur Magic FC will look to continue their positive momentum when they welcome Malappuram FC to Corporation Stadium.

The hosts have experienced an inconsistent campaign so far and currently occupy fifth position in the league standings with seven points from seven matches. Their attacking department has struggled to produce goals consistently, having scored just five goals, while defensive lapses have also affected their results.

However, Thrissur will take confidence from their recent 2-0 victory against Kannur Warriors FC on November 7. Valentine Chiemerie Ekejiuba opened the scoring before Silajit Santra doubled the advantage in the second half. Their defensive organisation also played an important role in securing a clean sheet.

Thrissur will need another disciplined performance against a Malappuram side that has been considerably more productive in front of goal. The hosts must improve their attacking efficiency and avoid giving the visitors too much space in dangerous areas.

Playing at Corporation Stadium could provide additional motivation, but they will need to deliver a complete performance to challenge the visitors.

Thrissur Magic FC averages 0.71 goals scored and 1.29 goals conceded per game.

Thrissur have scored four goals across their last three recorded fixtures, while conceding six.

Thrissur Magic FC has 6 goal contributions in 7 matches played.
