Thu Nov 07 16:46:01 UTC 2024: ## Kerala Blasters FC and Hyderabad FC Clash in ISL Match Seeking Redemption

**Kochi, Nov 6 (IANS):** Southern rivals Kerala Blasters FC and Hyderabad FC are set to face off in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Thursday. Both teams are looking to bounce back from recent defeats and get their seasons back on track.

Kerala Blasters FC currently sits in 10th place in the points table while Hyderabad FC occupies 11th place. Both teams have endured similar struggles this season, with their recent losses to Mumbai City FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant respectively highlighting their need for a change in fortunes.

While Kerala Blasters FC has won three of their last four encounters against Hyderabad FC, this will be the first time they’ve sought to win three in a row against the visitors, making this match a significant opportunity for them.

The Kerala Blasters have consistently found the back of the net at home, scoring in each of their previous 14 ISL matches at home. However, they’ve also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 18 matches, a weakness that needs addressing if they are to climb the league ladder.

Hyderabad FC, on the other hand, is looking to build upon their recent 4-0 victory over Mohammedan SC, which snapped their four-game losing streak away from home. Their offensive cohesion will be a challenge for the Kerala Blasters defense.

With a closely contested points table, both teams will be looking to gain ground with a victory. Hyderabad FC Head Coach Thangboi Singto emphasized the importance of playing their best football in every game. The team that performs to its full potential on Thursday is likely to emerge victorious, gaining a much-needed boost in confidence for the upcoming matches.
