Panaji, November 5, 2025: Kerala Blasters FC will face Mumbai City FC in a crucial Super Cup Group D match tomorrow at 7:30 PM at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda. The Blasters head into this match with confidence after two consecutive victories. A draw in this game will secure their place in the semifinals, but they aim to win and finish the group stage strongly with three points.
Head coach David Catlin on the team’s preparations:
“This match against Mumbai, which can secure us a semifinal spot, won’t be easy. We are focused and confident. Our team is showing good attacking coordination, and we’re looking to maintain possession. I’m pleased with the players’ discipline and the creation of chances, and we aim to continue this in the upcoming match.”
With six points from two matches, the Blasters sit at the top of Group D. The team’s performance reflects Catlin’s style, focusing on goals and control. Spanish striker Coldo Obiet is in good form, having scored three goals in the first two matches. The defense, including Juan Rodriguez and Bikash Yumnam, has yet to concede a goal in this tournament. With four goals scored and two clean sheets, the Blasters are among the top teams in the competition.
For Mumbai City FC, winning this match is crucial. They currently sit second in the group with three points after losing to Rajasthan United in their last match. To keep their semifinal hopes alive, they need to secure a win and preferably by a significant margin. Anything less would eliminate Mumbai from the tournament, so coach Peter Crouch’s team will approach the match with a strong attacking mindset, making it a tough contest for both sides.
With the semifinals within reach, Kerala Blasters aim to deliver a strong performance in this vital match to enter the next round with full confidence.
