Wed Mar 12 14:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Hyderabad FC Aim for Historic Double Over Kerala Blasters in ISL Season Finale

**Hyderabad, India** – Hyderabad FC will face Kerala Blasters FC in the final league match of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season on March 12th at 7:30 PM IST. The match, hosted at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium, marks Hyderabad’s bid to secure their first-ever league double over Kerala Blasters. Hyderabad won the reverse fixture 2-1 in November.

Both teams are eliminated from playoff contention. Hyderabad currently sits second-to-last with 17 points, while Kerala Blasters are ninth with 28 points after 23 games each.

Hyderabad enters the match needing to shore up their defense after conceding multiple goals in their last two games. Their high percentage of time spent trailing this season (47.4%) is also a concern. Meanwhile, Kerala Blasters hope to build on recent defensive improvements and end the season on a high note after a five-game streak without a clean sheet. Their away form is also a key area for improvement, having failed to score in their last away match.

Both coaches addressed their team’s respective challenges. Hyderabad’s interim coach, Shameel Chembakath, emphasized the need for improvement, while Kerala Blasters’ interim coach, TG Purushothaman, focused on the upcoming match, downplaying injury concerns.

Key individual players to watch include Hyderabad’s Ramhlunchhunga, who has scored twice from outside the box this season, and Kerala Blasters’ Noah Sadaoui, who has contributed 12 goals and assists. Milos Drincic of Kerala Blasters will be pivotal to their defensive efforts.

The match will be streamed live on JioHotstar and televised on Star Sports and Asianet Plus.
