The two teams have endured similar journeys in the current season and hence the routes ahead to their respective objectives wear a familiar look as well. Kerala Blasters FC and Hyderabad FC presently stand at the 10th and 11th spots in the points table - coming into this match on the back of defeats to Mumbai City FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant respectively.
This match gives them a chance to fix things up and get their respective seasons back on track. The wind can be said to be swaying in the favour of the Kerala Blasters, as the Kochi-based outfit has won three out of their last four outings against Hyderabad FC. However, they have never won thrice in a row in front of the visitors - presenting this match as an unprecedented opportunity for them to do so.
