3 Kerala Blasters vs Hyderabad FC Match prediction

Both the sides are in real good form in the league phase, more so the Hyderabad FC. They have scored more goals than any team in the ISL 2021-22, 48. Their forward Ogbeche has a big role in that scoring 18 goals from many games. They also have a wonderful goalkeeper in Laxmikant Kattimani, who have kept the HFC sheet a cleaner one than the rest.

So, the Kerala Blasters will have to find a way to stop the goal machine of Hyderabad. Precisely, that factor gives the Hyderabad outfit a slight edge in the title match. While the Blasters have an experienced line-up under skipper Adrian Luna and they will bank on that.
