Mumbai City FC seek winning momentum against Kerala Blasters FC

Mumbai, Nov 2: Mumbai City FC will look to return to winning ways when they take on visiting Kerala Blasters FC in their Indian Super League match here on Sunday.

The Islanders, determined to bounce back after a draw in the last match against Odisha FC, will aim to avoid a second straight defeat to Kerala Blasters FC — a streak they haven’t experienced since the 2021-22 season.

With Mumbai City FC and Kerala Blasters FC tied closely in standings, every point counts, especially in the highly competitive race for the playoffs.

Mumbai City FC have recently faced challenges in breaking down defences, netting fewer than two goals in each of their last two home matches. The Islanders haven’t seen a goalless stretch of this sort since early 2023, and they’ll be eager to rediscover their attacking form.

Although Mumbai City FC create an impressive 2.6 big chances per game (second highest in the ISL), their big chance conversion rate of just 15.4% is the lowest. The upcoming game will be a crucial test of their finishing skills.

Kerala Blasters FC have gone 10 straight away games without a clean sheet, a trend they will need to fix quickly. Their defence will be tested by Mumbai’s home advantage and scoring potential.

With 63.4% of their shots coming from inside the box, Kerala Blasters FC’s attack will seek openings in Mumbai’s backline, led by Noah Sadaoui and his league-high expected assists tally of 2.15.

Kick-off: 7.30 pm IST. (PTI)
