Kerala Blasters v Mumbai City Betting Tips [16 January 2022]

Kerala Blasters will look to stretch their leadership of the Indian Super League when they host Mumbai City in a second meeting between the two in under one month. Going into this game, the two sides are separated by three points, Kerala top of the table with 20 points and Mumbai fourth with 17 points. Kerala have benefitted from a rich vein of form and go to this clash unbeaten in 10 matches, winning five, keeping five clean sheets and failing to score in just one. They have scored two or more goals in five of the last 10 games and go to this game unbeaten in their last five home matches. Both sides have however scored in four of Kerala’s last five home matches.

Mumbai City on the other hand are going into this game on a very poor run, winless in their last five matches. They have three losses in those five matches and have conceded three or more goals in four of them. In three of their last five matches, Mumbai City have failed to score and four of the last five have produced over 2.5 goals. Their five-match winless run started with a 3-0 home loss to Kerala Blasters in December and they’ve conceded 13 goals since. Away from home, Mumbai have no win in their last three matches, and have managed just one clean sheet in the last five.

Mumbai City are in really poor form and get to face an in-form Kerala Blasters side who go into this game with three wins in the last five matches. Kerala, playing at home will definitely be favorites here and with their returns in attack, compared to Mumbai’s defensive performance, we are backing the hosts to win.
