NorthEast United vs Kerala Blasters prediction and preview for ISL
Although a draw will suffice for NorthEast United to progress to the knockout stages, they would still want to end the league stages with a win. However, a loss could put their chances in jeopardy as Hyderabad FC could go past them if they win against Goa FC. With everything to play for, Khalid Jamil will hope that his side can put up a good show.
On the other hand, Kerala Blasters will be fighting for pride as they cannot qualify for the knockout stages. If the head-to-head of the two teams is anything to go by, Kerala Blasters indeed do have a better record. Kerala Blasters have beaten NorthEast United five times, drawn five and lost thrice.
However, it seems unlikely that their head-to-head will make any difference in this fixture as the two sides find themselves on the opposite ends of the table. As per the ISL points table, NorthEast United are currently in fourth place with 30 points while Kerala Blasters are currently in tenth place with 17 points. With NorthEast United been unbeaten in their previous 9 games and Kerala Blasters failing to win a game in their last 7 games, we expect NorthEast United to beat Kerala Blasters 2-1.
