Kerala Blasters Vs FC Goa: Build-up

Kerala Blasters have won only two matches in this campaign, that too against the bottom two teams. Meanwhile, Carlos Pena’s men have lost just one out of the total four matches they have played in.

In the current scenario, the Blasters can capitalise on the extra playoff spot as per the ISL’s revisions. Although Ivan Vukamanovic is well-versed in the nitty gritty of the League, he must repeat his magic once again this season. The side has a chance to reach the fourth position by beating Goa tomorrow.

Carlos Pena’s FC Goa sit comfortably in the third position with nine points in their bag. The Spaniard will be aiming to extend this lead further on the point table as his team can climb to the second position with a win at Kochi.

The Yellow Army had a dream start to the campaign with a 3-1 win against East Bengal in the inaugural match of the league. The team couldn’t continue the brace as numerous errors made by the defensive department cost them some valuable points. Ivan couldn’t create a striking duo upfront and the newly signed foreign strikers are still not risen up for the challenge. A huge defeat by 5-2 against the Kolkata giants ATK Mohun Bagan and a 2-0 defeat against Mumbai made several fans question the board.

To the relief of the Serbian, his men have managed a 3-0 win against NorthEast United. The team will now be looking forward to rebuild the momentum with the confidence gained from the previous match.

Carlos Pena aided FC Goa are currently in a transition phase. His team is performing well amidst a narrow loss against the current table-topper Hyderabad FC. Pena’s prime objective this season will be to reach the playoffs, taking one step at a time. A win in Kochi can lift them up to the second position in the points table.
