Kerala Blasters FC vs. Mumbai City FC: Winning Prediction

Current Form

Currently occupying the second spot with 20 points, Kerala Blasters FC share the top position with FC Goa, having played 10 matches. In their recent ISL encounter at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kerala secured a 1-0 victory against Punjab FC.

Mumbai City FC, on the other hand, secured a 2-1 win against Mohun Bagan Super Giant in their last league match, maintaining an unbeaten streak of nine games (W5 D4 L0) and positioning themselves in fourth place with 19 points.

Head to Head

The previous ISL meeting between the two teams saw Mumbai City FC emerge victorious with a 2-1 scoreline at Mumbai Football Arena in October. Jorge Pereyra Díaz scored first in the 49th minute, followed by Lalengmawia Ralte. Danish Farooq found the net for Kerala Blasters in the 57th minute.

Mumbai City FC has dominated recent encounters with three consecutive wins since October 2022, outscoring Kerala Blasters 8-1 during this period.

Players’ Perfomance

Dimitrios Diamantakos has been a key attacking force for Kerala Blasters this season, leading the team with five goals, tying for the second-highest in the league.

Pereyra Díaz stands out as Mumbai City FC’s primary attacking threat, scoring six times, including two opening goals, making him the top scorer in the competition for the 2023/2024 season.

Recent Perfomance

Kerala Blasters boast an impressive record at home, being unbeaten in six ISL matches with four wins and two draws. They hold a six-match home unbeaten streak (W4 D2 L0) dating back to September 21 against Bengaluru FC. Mumbai City FC, on the other hand, remains undefeated in away league matches this season, with two wins and two draws away from Mumbai Football Arena, and a five-match away unbeaten streak (W3 D2 L0) since their last away defeat on February 15 against Bengaluru FC.

In their recent form, Kerala Blasters have won four, drawn one, and lost one in their last six league matches. Meanwhile, Mumbai City FC has recorded three wins and three draws in their last six outings.

Prediction

Mumbai City FC’s current form is undeniable, but Kerala Blasters’ home advantage and potential bounce-back spirit can’t be ignored. Ultimately, Mumbai City FC holds a slight edge, possibly winning 1-0 or 2-1 due to their defensive prowess and attacking efficiency. However, Kerala Blasters have the potential to upset the applecart if they capitalize on their home crowd’s energy and play to their strengths.

About Indian Super League (ISL)

The Indian Super League (ISL) is the men’s highest level of the Indian football league system. It was founded on 21 October 2013 with the aim of growing the sport of football in India and increasing its exposure in the country. The league is co-promoted by Reliance, Star India, and supported by the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

The ISL began play in October 2014 with eight teams. During its first three seasons, the competition operated without official recognition from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which is the governing body for the sport in Asia. It was structured along the same lines as the Indian Premier League, the country’s premier Twenty20 franchise-based cricket competition. Each season lasted just three months, from October to December, and matches were held daily.

However, before the 2017–18 season, the league expanded to ten teams, extended its schedule to six months, and earned recognition from the AFC. The season runs from September to March and includes a 22-round regular season followed by playoffs involving the top six teams, culminating with the ISL Final to determine the champions. At the end of the regular season, the team with the most points is declared the premiers and presented with the League Winners’ Shield.

Currently, the league comprises 12 clubs. ISL clubs gain qualification to the Asian continental club competitions; regular-season premiers qualify directly for the subsequent season’s AFC Cup group stage. The league has received unmatched visibility in a short span of time and is speculated to be one of the top-tier leagues in India after the I-League.
