Kerala Blasters FC will lock horns with reigning champions Mumbai City FC in Match No. 62 of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22. The match will take place at the Tilak Maidan Stadium in Vasco, Goa.
The defending champions, Mumbai City, have rekindled their playoff chances after a convincing 2-0 win against FC Goa. They have far too much potential and quality to be exposed just yet.
The Islanders are fourth in the ISL standings with 31 points from 18 games, including nine victories, four ties, and five losses.
Kerala Blasters, on the other hand, have recently devastated some of the league's elite ISL teams by renewing their playoff prospects. The Blasters have won three and lost two of their last five games, putting them in fifth place in the league with 30 points.
Ivan Vukomanovic's side pulled off a comfortable win against Chennaiyin FC after going down to Hyderabad FC in the match prior.
Both clubs are in great shape and will head into this game with a lot of confidence. A win for Mumbai City FC will assure them a spot in the semifinals. It would also advance ATK Mohun Bagan to the semifinals.
