DomainJava.com – Kerala Blasters vs Odisha prediction in the Indian Super League match, Kerala Blasters is ready to face Odisha FC in the next home match in the 2024-25 Indian Super League (ISL) season at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi on January 13 (Monday).
When the two teams met at the Kalinga Stadium for the previous match earlier in the season, the crowd witnessed a goal feast in the first half.
Noah Sadaoui put Kerala Blasters ahead in the 18th minute of the match, which was quickly followed by a beautiful finish from Jesus Jimenez to secure an early two-goal lead.
However, Odisha were gifted the first goal, which came from Ahmed Jahouh’s harmless cross. A mistake in the penalty box by Sachin Suresh led to an own goal from Alexandre Coeff.
Diego Mauricio equalized in the 36th minute, with another error from Sachin Suresh bringing the ball in. The match ended in a draw after both teams failed to secure victory in the second half.
Kerala Blasters are finally gaining momentum in the league, winning two of their last three matches. They started showing real progress after securing a win in their previous match against Punjab FC, despite playing with nine men.
The Tuskers are well aware that winning their remaining games of the season is crucial to securing a playoff spot and will be aiming for three points.
Odisha have not tasted victory in their last five league matches, and their recent form has dealt a major blow to their playoff hopes. The Kalinga Warriors will look to get back to winning ways and freshen up their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
Kerala Blasters have Vibin Mohanan and Jesus Jimenez returning from injury for the next match. They will be without Milos Drincic due to suspension, while Aibanbha Dohling will be available for selection as his red card has been overturned by the AIFF disciplinary committee.
Ahmed Jahouh returns from suspension for Odisha FC, adding strength to their midfield.
Jesus Jimenez is back from injury for Kerala Blasters and will play against Odisha. The Spaniard scored nine goals and provided one assist in twelve appearances, despite playing for a struggling team.
With Jimenez returning to a Blasters side that has regained momentum and is winning consistently, he will have the perfect platform to shine in front of goal.
All eyes will be on Rahul KP as he takes on his former club in Kochi. This match will no doubt be a test of his confidence as he plays against his childhood club in front of cheering fans. The youngster will find out whether his love is still there or gone at his local stadium.
The two teams have competed 12 times in the ISL. Kerala Blasters FC and Odisha FC have won four matches each, while the other matches ended in draws. An average of 3.33 goals have been scored per match in these matches.(ed)
