Kerala Blasters FC
- Kerala Blasters FC have won one, drawn one, and lost three of their last five matches.
- Jamshedpur FC sit third in the Indian Super League 2026 with 15 points from eight matches, while Kerala sit in 13th place with four points from the same number of games.
- Kerala’s home form has been miserable, with Westwood inheriting a team that has lost all four of their home matches and scored only two goals.
- The Big Yellows finally stopped the rot when they won 2-1 away to Bengaluru FC a couple of weeks ago, but then fell back into old ways and lost 2-0 to SC Delhi last weekend.
Jamshedpur FC
- Jamshedpur have built a much more solid side since Owen Coyle took over in January 2026 and his approach has been to instil defensive discipline and create a system where the players know their roles and execute their tasks in a compact, low-error system.
- The Reds are tough to beat because of their structure and counter-attacking thrust, as they will press selectively and then release players in behind with the ball quickly.
Head-to-Head
Jamshedpur FC are unbeaten in their last three visits to Kerala Blasters FC (D3), but without a win.
Key Players
- Ebindas Yesudasan is the creative heartbeat of the team and has 4 assists in 8 league games.
