FC Goa vs Kerala Blasters FC Prediction: Goa are desperate for a win

FC Goa will welcome Kerala Blasters FC in the 16th game week of the Fartoda Stadium. Both teams are in playoff spots and looking forward to strengthening their position in the top six. Who will win this tie?

Goa has been all over the place in this ISL. They have tasted success and beaten top-quality teams on their day but have also had some bad days in the business. They have six wins in 14 games of the season so far. Goa has shown composure in the final third in the ISL so far scoring 23 goals but they have also conceded 21 goals on the other side of the pitch. They have had a poor run in recent games winning only one of their games in the five last games. Gaurs drew their last game against bottom-of-the-league side North East United. With the last stretch of the season, Goa will look forward to strengthening its position in the top six.

Kerala has been performing consistently this season. Only two teams are above them in the points table. One being invincibles Mumbai and the other being Hyderabad. There are 10-point differences between them and the Nizams so the top two finish looks highly unlikely. Kerala's immediate goals will be to solidify their position in the playoffs and try out some fringe players. The yellow army has scored 22 goals this season which is one less than their Sunday rivals. They are banking on their defence which has handed them many wins over the last few games. The team is coming into the game on the back of a defeat against league leaders Mumbai and will be looking to get back into the winning ways.

With both teams going for the kill, it will be an end-to-end thrilling game. We expect plenty of goals in the game as both teams will try to attack for the majority of the game. Goa vs Kerala has given us plenty of goals and we expect the same trend in this game as well. Kerala looks better with their recent performances but we are backing the Gaurs to get three points in the game and keep their playoffs dream alive.
