Mumbai Meet Kerala With Playoffs In Sight

The Statesman Kolkata

March 07, 2025

With just a point between them and the Indian Super League (ISL) playoffs, former champions Mumbai City FC will aim to go all out for a victory when they play Kerala Blasters FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Friday.

The Islanders need just a point to qualify for the playoffs as they are tied on 33 points with the sixth-placed Odisha FC. However, the Juggernauts have finished their league run whereas Mumbai City FC still have two matches in hand. Kerala Blasters FC are out of that contention, placed ninth with 25 points from 22 encounters.

Mumbai City FC had beaten Kerala Blasters FC by 4-2 in the reverse fixture back in November, and are eyeing their 24th league double in ISL history - levelling FC Goa for doing so the most number of times in the competition.

The American century coined by Henry Luce in 1941 is ebbing. The unipolar world that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union has ended.
