Kerala Blasters, who are in great form in the 2023-24 season of the Indian Super League, will enter the new tournament on Wednesday. The Yellow Army will be aiming to win their first title in the Kalinga Super Cup in Bhubaneswar. The fans are hoping that if the brilliant form in the Indian Super League continues, the team will be able to progress a lot in the Super Cup as well. The Yellow Army’s first match is against I-League side Shillong Lajong FC at 2 pm on Wednesday.
Coming from ISL to Super Cup, Kerala Blasters are more likely to rotate their team. Some key players who did not get a chance in the Indian Super League will therefore get playing time in the Super Cup. So this season, we may see a playing XI that we have not seen before in the Super Cup. Let’s take a look at Kerala Blasters’ likely starting XI for the first game of the Kalinga Super Cup.
Kerala Blasters: Kerala Blasters are set to sell three players
Sachin Suresh is the goalkeeper of Kerala Blasters in ISL. But the chances of Kerala Blasters giving Karanjit Singh a chance in the Super Cup are very high. It is believed that Sachin Suresh may be rested by the yellow team in the first match of the Super Cup. In the last three games of the ISL, the yellow team played with a foreign center back pair (Milos Drincic-Marko Leskovic). Hormipam Ruiva may get a place in the starting eleven in the Super Cup. Only one of Drincic and Marko Leskovic will be in the starting line-up. Prabir Das at right back and Sandeep Singh at left back are likely to start against Shillong Lajong.
That award will be won this time by Blasters’ Diamantakos, leading the voting; East Bengal player as opponent
Japanese player Daisuke Sakai will lead the team in midfield. Malayalam player Mohammad Azhar, who performed brilliantly in the last ISL match, will retain his place in the team. Apart from them, Danish Farooq and Mohammad Aiman will line up in the midfield.
There are no headaches for Kerala Blasters in the forward line. Greek star Dimitrios Diamantakos and Ghanaian Kwame Pepray will be lined up in attack. The fact that both are in great form is positive for Kerala Blasters. Dimitrios Diamantakos is currently the top goal scorer in the ISL 2023-24 season. If the player can continue his form in the ISL and in the Super Cup, things will be easier for the Yellow Army.
Kerala Blasters need two new players; Fans hope these signings happen in the January transfer window
Kerala Blasters Probable Starting Lineup: Karanjit Singh (Goalkeeper), Prabir Das, Hormipam Ruiva, Marko Leskovic/Milos Drincic, Sandeep Singh, Mohammad Azhar, Danish Farooq, Daisuke Sakai, Mohammad Ayman, Dimitrios Diamantakos, Kwame Pepra.
At the same time, apart from Shillong Lajong in Group B of the Super Cup, ISL clubs Jamshedpur FC and Northeast United are with the Yellow Army. Blasters will play against Jamshedpur on January 15 and Northeast United on January 20.
