Kerala Blasters FC
Kerala Blasters FC are undefeated in two home matches ( W1, D1 ).
Mumbai City FC
- Mumbai City FC have won one and lost two of their last three away games.
- Mumbai City FC make the trip south to Kerala as favourites for Sunday’s Indian Super League 2026 clash, coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 home win over Chennaiyin FC, while Kerala Blasters sit 12th in the standings after failing to earn any points from their opening game.
Head-to-Head
Both teams can lay claim to a 1-0 victory apiece from their last two head-to-head matches and while that was only last season, there has been some transition at both clubs since then.
Key Players
- David Catala took charge at Kerala in March 2025 and is still trying to get the players to understand and buy into his European philosophy of possession-based football.
- City boss Petr Kratky, in charge since December 2023, is doing something similar, implementing a possession-based approach that’s synonymous with the City Football Group, but with an Indian Super League twist.
- The matchup will be won or lost in the midfield, where each boss will want to dominate, but both will have a different plan in terms of tempo and playing through wide overloads.
- The visitors will look to dominate the ball and press high, while the home side will look to manage the game and transition with their flexibility in formation.
Betting Insights
- Kerala have an unbeaten record in their last two home games and Mumbai are winless in their last two ISL trips to Kerala, so that gives the home team a chance in the draw no bet line.
- With relegation introduced and no play-offs this season, every point is effectively worth double and that should make this a tense clash, so expect both teams to get on the board at 1.92.
Prediction
We’re going for the in-form favourites to take all three points at a shorter price.
