Who will triumph in the Goa v Kerala Blasters ISL Live game tonight?
Kick-off 10 minutes away.

Test of the Kerala might.

Nelo Vingada sees this match as an opportunity for Kerala Blasters to give their best in the last phase of the ISL.

“I also want to see through this game how our team can face the best opponents in the ISL. No doubt that Goa is better than us and the difference in points shows that, but that does not mean they will win the game,” Vingada said before the Goa v Kerala Blasters ISL Live match.

Lobera wary.

Sergio Lobera feels the threat posed by Kerala Blasters under new coach Nelo Vingada cannot be taken lightly even as they aim to qualify for the ISL semifinals.

“We are going to face a very good team that is looking different under a new coach. I’m sure that if we are not at our 100 percent and are not doing the things right, we won’t be able to take the three points. Also, if we win, we will confirm our spot in the play-offs and then try to get on top of the table,” Lobera said before the Gao v Kerala Blasters ISL Live match.
