Madgaon: The Kerala Blasters will enter their first match of the new year today on the heels of the unbeaten run in ISL football. Rivals FC Goa. Venue Tilak Maidan. Kickoff at 7.30pm. Jamshedpur will take on Chennai at 9.30 pm in the second match today. Both matches will be televised live on Star Sports Channels and Hotstar.
ഒന്നാം First place next door
The Blasters will be confident of a win away from the top of the ISL points table. Ivan Vukomanovic’s team is currently in fifth place with 13 points from eight matches. The arrival of the Blasters following the New Year’s break will make you forget the fatigue of playing three games in seven days. This break may have given new impetus to a team of many players with roles both in offense and defense.
Goa’s challenge
The Blasters are a team that shines in the front, back and center. Goa, on the other hand, is not even in the shadow of its old form. Goa have the same number of points from eight matches. Goa’s new coach Derrick Perera has been plagued by defensive shortcomings. Today, Goa will have to contend with forwards who will be scoring goals from the open play.
Twelve of the 13 goals scored are from the open play, which is enough to measure Vukomonovic’s team’s strength. The home team will need a lot of work to keep the Blasters’ Alvaro Vazquez – Jorge Pereira – Adrian Luna – Sahal Abdul Samad at bay.
Despite the tumultuous performances, Goa’s history has brought relief. Goa have not lost in their last eight matches once morest the Blasters in the ISL.
∙ It was a very tiring week with 3 matches in seven days. Most of the stars are young. They are strong. They will be able to maintain the rhythm of the team. They clearly know what the league wants – Ivan Vukomanovich, Blasters coach
