Mumbai City vs Kerala Blasters prediction

FC Mumbai City will be visited by Kerala Blasters on Dr. DY Patil Stadium in round 12 of the Indian Super league. Both teams are at the bottom of the league and this meeting is very important for Mumbai City, team that can catch one of the first 4 places if they will win last 3 rounds from this season. Mumbai City is on 7th place with 12 points after 11 matches and Kerala Blasters is on last place with one point less but Mumbai City has won most of their points in the home matches, where they have 3 wins, one draw and two defeats. Kerala Blasters has earned only 3 points in all 5 away matches, having 4 defeats in those games and is hard to believe that they will obtain something from this meeting. From Kerala Blasters only midfielder Shankar Sampingiraj is a doubt and is possible to not be on the field today while Mumbai City cannot count on midfielders Brandon Fernandes and Gabriel Fernandes but also will miss the defender Darren O'Dea. A good news for hosts is the striker Frederic Piquionne is fit and will be in attack line along with the topscorer Sunil Chhetri. Mumbai City has won with 1-0 last game played on own ground against Kerala Blasters in previous season, a match in which they lead since first half. Mumbai City had lead since first half in each of all 3 wins obtained on own ground in this season and i bet that Mumbai City will take the lead since first half and will win at the end, so HT/FT: 1/1 is my bet here.
