Preview In their most recent outing, Mumbai City drew 1-1 against Odisha FC, who played the second half with ten men. Despite controlling portions of that game, Mumbai City struggled in front of goal-a theme that has plagued them this season. They rank among the lowest in the league for expected goals created.
They have also missed a significant number of big chances, an area that head coach Petr Kratky will be keen to improve. On the other hand, the Blasters looked promising early on in their last match against Bengaluru FC, with Jesus Jimenez equalizing from the penalty spot in the first half. However, defensive lapses allowed Bengaluru to secure a comfortable win. This inconsistency has hampered Kerala’s season, with two wins, two draws, and two losses from their six games so far. In past encounters, Mumbai City holds the edge, winning nine of their 20 ISL clashes with Kerala Blasters.
The Tuskers have managed five victories, while six matches have ended in a draw. Both teams have been inconsistent in converting chances, and Kerala’s defense has also looked vulnerable, which could open up opportunities for Mumbai’s misfiring attack to regain confidence. With both sides struggling to find form, this match offers a prime chance for either team to gain momentum. A win could significantly boost Mumbai City’s or Kerala Blasters’ standings, with both teams looking to capitalize on each other’s vulnerabilities and claim three valuable points.
