Today Delhi Dynamos would look to continue in same vein and consolidate their position when they lock horns with Kerala Blasters in an Indian Super League (ISL) football match. The Dynamos are placed third in the eight-team table, while Kerala Blasters are struggling in sixth position after playing seven matches, the same as their next opponents. Italian World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta’s side currently has 10 points with two wins, four draws and a loss.
Delhi Dynamos finally secured full points from their away match against FC Goa, and their morale will be certainly high as they seek a win at their own backyard.
On the other hand, Kerala Blasters will have something to worry about as the Sachin Tendulkar co-owned side is coming off a drab, goalless draw against defending champions Chennaiyin FC. Brazilian Marcelinho and Richard Gadze scored in Dynamos’ 2-0 win over FC Goa, in the process exacting avenge for their semifinal exit last season, but the key player for the home side again will be marquee signing and midfield marshall Florent Malouda.
Kerala on the offensive straightaway in the first 5minute. Belfort collected the ball from a corner that was defended by Delhi Dynamos. He dribbled past two defendors to make it clear on goal but his shot was blocked off by a defender who caught up with him just in time.
Rocha sends a peach off a diagonal from deep in his half out to Kean Lewis on the left wing, but the Delhi winger can’t make much of a promising situation.
