For NorthEast, they will look to end their sorry campaign on a high. Their goal scoring has been an issue throughout the season.

Since, David James has been appointed, the Blasters have an impressive goal scoring record. Baldvinsson has had a good start to his ISL season and his form will be crucial if Kerala are to go all the way.

Out of the seven games they have played against each other, Kerala has won four games and will look to increase that number to five if they want to stay alive in the competition.

NorthEast are just one place above the bottom of the table only because of goal difference. The home side have a chance to play party spoilers and end their season on a positive note playing their last game at home today.

Kerala Blasters are on an unbeaten run in their last three games, out of which they have won two. They are the only side to have scored in every away game this season.
