Preview:

NorthEast United and Kerala Blasters FC will face each other in Hero ISL at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati in the Round 5 match. NorthEast United are suffering from a very bad run of form this year and must be low on confidence after back-to-back poor results. They head to this match with a loss against Jamshedpur FC by a 0-1 scoreline, 4th loss in a row. Kerala Blasters FC started their new campaign with a victory against East Bengal FC but have been below expectations since that win. Recently, they played against Mumbai City FC in the last match and faced a 0-2 defeat.

Top picks:

Ivan Kaliuzhnyi: The Ukrainian attacking midfielder is one of the best performers for his team in the last four matches and he has the potential to turn any game. He has scored three goals thus far and will look to carry his excellent form. He is available for 9 credits and can be a key asset for fantasy football users. He could be a decent captaincy pick here.

Matt Derbyshire: The English professional plays as a striker for NorthEast United. He likes to dribble the ball and cut the ball inside the opponent’s box with supreme finishing ability. He scored a goal against East Bengal FC recently and has the power to score against a solid defense as well.
