Sahal Abdul Samad will be the key for Kerala Blasters when it faces Jamshedpur FC on Wednesday.

Kerala Blasters FC will look to pull off a league double over Jamshedpur FC when they square off in match 73 of the ongoing Indian Super League season (ISL 2020-21) at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim on Wednesday.

Kerala, which is ninth on the points table, has had a patchy run of form since the tournament began. Kibu Vicuna's side will seek to move up the table with another win after remaining unbeaten in its last four matches. The absence of Nishu Kumar in the backline could still hurt the team but the assured performances of Jeakson Singh in the recent games is a good sign.

Meanwhile, eighth-placed Jamshedpur has just one win from its last six matches and is undergoing its worst sequence of results since its introduction to the ISL. Despite the return of young defender Narender Gahlot in the match against Hyderabad FC, it still looked wobbly at the back.

Kerala Blasters predicted XI (4-4-2)

Albino Gomes; Sandeep Singh, Bakary Kone, Jeakson Singh, Yondrembem Denechandra; Juande, Vicente Gomez, Facundo Pereyra, Sahal Abdul Samad; Rahul KP, Gary Hooper.

Jamshedpur FC predicted XI (4-3-3)

TP Rehenesh; Narender Gahlot, Peter Hartley, Stephen Eze, Ricky Lallawmawma; Mohammad Mobashir, Alexandre Lima, Aitor Monroy; Seiminlen Doungel, Nerijus Valskis, Farukh Choudhary.
