Namdhari FC vs Gokulam Kerala: Prediction and score

Gokulam Kerala are the downright favorites to win the game, and we at Sportskeeda, expect them to do so quite comfortably.

This is notwithstanding the fact that the two sides played out a 2-2 draw when they met earlier this season in the reverse fixture in Kozhikode.

This time, however, Gokulam Kerala are in good form and will be able to coast to a comfortable victory over their opponents and remain in the fray for the I-League title.

Predicted score: Namdhari FC 0-2 Gokulam Kerala.
