Mumbai City FC vs Kerala Blasters, ISL 2019-20: Match Preview
Ever since winning their opening game against the same opponents, Mumbai City FC have been in the middle of a five-match winless streak. The Jorge Costa-managed side will be hoping to revive their fate and get back to the winning ways.
“It is always a problem when you lose points because of an individual’s mistake. However, the good thing we must take away from the last two games is that we are playing as a team and we are playing good,” Costa was quoted as saying by PTI about the team’s performance.
For Kerala Blasters, everything has gone wrong in the season. Coach Eelco Schattorie has had a tough time in the office so far and shall be hoping for a turnaround.
Languishing at eighth in the points table, the Kochi based team face a herculean task ahead of them to be in the contention for a top-four spot. Also, captain Bartholomew Ogbeche’s disappointing form has contributed more to the misery.
Mumbai City FC vs Kerala Blasters, ISL 2019-20: Team News
Mumbai City FC: Costa is likely to field an unchanged eleven which had almost defeated ATK in the last match. Amine Chermiti and Modou Sougou have shown good understanding at the top, while Mohammed Larbi and Serge Kevyn have also started to flourish in the midfield.
Kerala Blasters: Schattorie, on the other hand, should be taking some serious decisions regarding his starting eleven. Ogobeche might just get another chance before a call is taken. But there can be some changes in the flank for more deliveries to come in during the match.
