Kerala Blasters form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Kerala Blasters's two home games in the Indian Super League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Tilak Maidan Stadium.
The spoils were shared in Kerala Blasters's previous game, also at home. Visiting Jamshedpur (placed 4th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Lešković was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.3 out of 10. The defender Lešković hit two key passes and won 4 of 11 duels.
Before that match, a win away at Chennaiyin.This is expected to be a close game, with Kerala Blasters perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kerala Blasters as a small favourite), we find ten games. Kerala Blasters has won two of these, drawn six and lost two.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kerala Blasters at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Goa form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Indian Super League, on their Indian Super League travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Goa lost away at ATK Mohun Bagan (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfield player Noguera was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.11/10. Noguera hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 63 successful passes (of 75 total).
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Odisha FC that ended 1-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Goa playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Goa win, two draws and four defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Goa have scored 7 goals in 5 league games away. Goa have conceded 11 goals in these games.
