Super League Kerala 2025: Thrissur Magic FC vs Kannur Warriors FC Preview, team news, lineups & prediction

Kannur Warriors must win this match to prevent elimination from the Super League Kerala.

The stage is set for the final round of the Super League Kerala 2025 as Thrissur Magic FC will face Kannur Warriors FC on December 2, 2025. The match will start at 7:30 PM and will be played at the Corporation Stadium in Thrissur.

With the Warriors eyeing a win in their final group stage fixture to ensure their survival in the league, the do-or-die clash between Thrissur Magic FC and Kannur Warriors FC would be an interesting one to watch.

The Stakes

Thrissur Magic FC

The Magicians, with 17 points in their hand, are comfortably placed in the 2nd position of the Super League Kerala group table. Thrissur, who have already qualified for the semi-finals, will be looking for a win to somehow top the table so that they can face a much weaker team for the semi-finals.

However, they may also rest their core players to ensure that there are no last-minute injury concerns for the squad.

Kannur Warriors FC

Kannur Warriors are currently placed in 5th position with 10 points. Their current position would eliminate them from the Super League Kerala playoffs race. Hence, winning is not just an option for Kannur; it is the only available option to ensure their further survival.

If they somehow lose or draw this game, they would be automatically disqualified. Therefore, for the Warriors, more than a win, their consecutive playoffs qualifications are at stake.

Team news

Both Kannur Warriors FC and Thrissur Magic FC are expected to field their best teams in their final group stage match of the Super League Kerala, as they do not have any major injury concerns or suspensions.

Players to watch out for

Kannur Warriors FC – Sinan

The 21-year-old striker Sinan is one player who could create havoc in the final third and add to the work of the Magicians’ defensive unit.

The U23 player has made an immediate impact for the Warriors with his ability to break past the defence with his speedy moves and teasing deliveries, creating key chances for his side, emerging as a saviour whenever the team requires him.

In their reverse fixture with Thrissur, Sinan found the back of the net to help his team draw the match, making him the first player to score for Kannur at their home in Super League Kerala history.

Kannur Warriors FC – Asier Gomes

The Warriors’ Spanish midfielder is the central figure in the attacking initiatives. The Warriors have qualified for the semi-finals after a stellar performance in the first edition of the Super League Kerala. Gomes was one of three players the club retained for the second edition of the tournament.

The midfielder’s ability to act as a link between the defence and the attack makes him a potent threat under head coach Manuel Sanchez’s tried and tested setup. Asier’s impressive ability to link well with Adrian Sardinero has helped the Warriors turn the tables around on multiple occasions.

If the Gomes-Sardinero duo can showcase their attacking prowess against Thrissur, they can pull off an upset and give their team a chance to qualify.
