VASCO DE GAMA: The Kerala Blasters FC will face a stern test from Jamshedpur FC when the two sides meet in a 2021-22 Indian Super League match, here on Sunday.
The Boxing Day blockbuster at the Tilak Maidan Stadium will see two sides who are not only in the top four but also in supreme form, riding on some free-scoring attackers and well-oiled defence in the last few matches. Kerala have been unbeaten in six games while Jamshedpur haven't lost their last two.
Jamshedpur shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw against Bengaluru FC in their previous engagement but the Men of Steel have been prolific in front of goal with Greg Stewart being at the heart of their success.
Kerala have been spectacular so far, putting behind disappointments of previous years with a collection of players who have dazzled, especially in front of goal. They won 3-0 against Chennaiyin FC in their last game, making light of an obdurate Chennaiyin defence. Among the players who have risen to the occasion for Kerala, Sahal Abdul Samad has been brilliant, scoring in back-to-back games. Before the start of the 2021-22 ISL, the youngster had just one goal to his name. But in seven games this season, he has managed to score thrice, including one each in the last 2 games. IANS
