Kerala Blasters FC vs Mumbai City FC Prediction: Kerala are a whole different team at home

Kerala Blasters FC will welcome Kerala Blasters FC in the fourth game week of the Indian Super League at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi. Kerala is on a two-game losing run while Mumbai is unbeaten in the tournament so far. Who will come out on top in this crucial fixture?

Kerala Blasters started the season with a thumping 3-1 win over East Bengal but they have not won any game since then. The Blasters lost 5-2 to ATK Mohun Bagan and Odisha defeated them 2-1. They are ninth in the league and will be looking to rake up some points before it gets too late. They have won the first game at home and they will be looking to replicate the success with thousands supporting them in Kochi.

Mumbai has been unbeaten in the Indian super league and is a clear favourite for this game. They have however won only one game the other two have resulted in a draw. The Islanders will be looking to move up the table from the fourth position and dominate in the early stages of the competition. Des Buckingham's side was impressive in a 3-3 draw against current champions Hyderabad when they came from behind twice in the game.

The momentum is with Mumbai but with home support, Kerala can do wonders. We are expecting a draw or a KBFC win in the game. This fixture has produced lots of goals and we expect the same to be the case on Friday. Over 2.5 goals are expected in the game with both teams scoring at least one goal each.
