Chance to sweat against Mumbai
Kerala Blasters defeated Bengaluru FC in the first match of the season and Jamshedpur FC in the second match. Both these teams were on paper equal to the Blasters or less powerful than the Blasters. But Mumbai City are stronger than Kerala Blasters on paper and on field.
Blasters will have to sweat a lot to win against a team featuring Jorge Pereira Diaz, Greg Stewart, Lalinsuala Changte, Rahul Bheke and Griffiths. That means the Blasters can’t even think about winning on Sunday without putting out their best performance.
No home stadium support
Kerala Blasters won the first two matches of the season at their home ground in Kochi. The support of the fans, who turned the gallery into a sea of yellow, played a crucial role in the team’s victory. But Blasters are preparing for the first away game of the season against Mumbai City on Sunday.
It remains to be seen how the Blasters will play this match without their own cheering crowd. The overall figures in the ISL show that the Blasters’ away record is not as good as Bokum. All these are things that will give the Yellow Army a headache in Sunday’s game.
Behind the head-to-head record
Kerala Blasters’ head-to-head record against Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League is also not very good. So far, Kerala Blasters and Mumbai City have met in 18 matches in nine seasons. The Yellow Army managed to win only four of these matches. While Kerala Blasters lost eight matches, six matches ended in draws. Even though the two teams met twice last season, the victory was with Mumbai.
Performance of both teams this season
Kerala Blasters and Mumbai City are two teams who are playing in good form this season. Kerala Blasters defeated Bengaluru FC 2-1 in the first match and Jamshedpur FC in the second match with an unanswered goal. Mumbai City started by beating Northeast United 2-1 in the first game. In the second match they drew 2-2 against Odisha.
