– **Match Preview**: Mohammedan Sporting Club will host Kerala Blasters FC at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Sunday, seeking their first home win in the Indian Super League (ISL). Both teams are eager for victory, with Mohammedan having lost their last match 0-3 to Mohun Bagan and sitting 10th on the points table with four points from four games.
– **Team Performance**: Mohammedan has not won at home in their first two matches and aims to avoid joining other teams like Jamshedpur FC, East Bengal, and Punjab FC, who have also not secured home victories.

– **Coaches’ Insights**: Mohammedan’s coach Andrey Chernyshov expressed confidence in his team’s readiness despite acknowledging the Blasters’ strong offensive capabilities. Meanwhile, Blasters’ coach Mikael Stahre emphasized the importance of humility and organization, noting his team’s intent to follow their tactical plan for a positive result.
