In the upcoming weekend, FC Goa will host Kerala Blasters in an Indian Super League Match (ISL).

FC Goa are holding their own in the Indian Super League and are strong contenders to win the league as well. They are in second place with 39 points and can comfortably hold their spot in the top four comfortably. Kerala Blasters on the other hand have been quite poor in the 2024-2025 season and are in eighth position.

The hosts are in great form after winning both of their previous matches and have easily strengthened their chance to qualify for the play-offs.

The partnernship between Peprah and Jimenez has been very lethal for Kerala Blasters since they are very proficient in goalscoring. Jesus Jimenez, the 31 year old striker is in the top goalscorers list for the 2024-2025 season having netted 11 times. If anyone can score a goal to gain the lead against FC Goa it can definitely be him.
