KERALA BLASTERS VS JAMSHEDPUR: MATCH DETAILS: Venue: Tilak Maidan in Vasco da Gama, Goa Kick-off time and date: 7:30 PM IST on Tuesday (March 15) TEAM NEWS: KERALA BLASTERS VS JAMSHEDPUR: HEAD TO HEAD: Jamshedpur holds the upper hand in terms of head-to-head records, but only by a very narrow margin. They have won three of the eleven matches against Kerala Blasters, whilst the Tuskers have emerged victorious on a couple of occasions. As many as six matches have ended in stalemates. One such stalemate was played out in the first meeting of this season, where both teams settled for a 1-1 draw.

KERALA BLASTERS VS JAMSHEDPUR FC MATCH PREDICTION  KBFC sits in the driver’s seat having secured a 1-0 win in the first leg, but a narrow lead will always be difficult to protect especially against a team like JFC, who were the second-highest goal-scorers during the league stage. Although they failed to find the back of the net in the first leg, JFC will always stand a chance to score with the likes of George Stewart and Daniel Chima Chukwu in the mix. However, they will also need to be aware of KBFC hitting on the counter. As JFC will go all out to score a goal to stay alive in the contest, KBFC’s pacy attackers may hurt them and score a goal themselves. So, both goalkeepers will play crucial roles in their sides’ hopes of reaching the final.
