Kerala Blasters will take on Odisha FC in what might promise to be a Boxing Day classic at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Monday, December 26.
Both the hosts and visitors have been flying this season, with Ivan's side registering four victories in their previous five games. Odisha FC, on the other hand, have won two of their last four contests.
The Manjappada's five-game unbeaten streak came to an end when they drew with their arch-rivals Chennaiyin FC in their previous game. Although they were not convincing throughout the game, the Kerala-based outfit managed to bag a point. Their forward line and Ivan Kaliuzhnyi have been scoring goals for fun this campaign.
The Juggernauts have recently slipped up after drawing their previous clash with ATK Mohun Bagan and losing to FC Goa the game before. Although they are heading into the game without a victory in their previous two games, their menacing forward line could cause trouble for their opponents.
The likes of Nandhakumar Sekar, Pedro Martin, Diego Mauricio, Jerry, and Isaac have frequently found the back of the net.
