Kerala Blasters FC - Punjab FC predictions and free betting tips [12/02/2024]

On Tuesday evening for the 14th round of the Indian Superliga in football, the home team, Kerala Blasters FC, one of the championship leaders, will play against Punjab, the guests languishing at the bottom of the league table. The Kerala Blasters hold strong on their home turf, having had a somewhat bumpy season. Currently placed third, the team is firmly engaged in the battle to reach top five placements and secure their medals. If we are to discuss stability, however, it's clear that the visiting team does not embody this. Battling fiercely for survival, the Punjab football collective finds itself in the penultimate position of the league table. Let's delve deeper into how the teams are approaching this head-to-head clash.

Kerala Blasters

After 13 matches in the regular championship, the Blasters have pocketed 26 points, placing them third in the league standings. Despite scoring sparingly, the team plays consistently with a strong defence, having conceded barely 12 goals - one of the league’s best records.

Punjab

Having also played 13 matches, the visitors from Punjab have gathered only 11 points and sit near the bottom of the table. Despite winning their most recent match, defensive shortcomings have led to numerous losses and missed points, darkening the team's fight to remain in the top tier.

Goals

The match could prove to be a barren one, despite the Blasters being firm favourites. This is characteristic of Indian football, and thus a TU (total under) of 3 goals seems probable.

Head-to-Head

The two teams have faced one another only twice, both times resulting in victories for Kerala Blasters.

Match prediction: Kerala Blasters - Punjab

Unsurprisingly, the home team who consistently perform well in the standings and are vying for a league championship are the favourites for this confrontation. Though it most likely will be a tricky match for both sides, preference leans towards Kerala Blasters owing to their more skilled and seasoned players and coaching staff. Thus, the recommended bet for the match is on the home team, or W1.
