Super League Kerala: Malappuram FC vs Kannur Warriors FC – Match Preview

The Super League Kerala returns to the Payyanad Stadium, Manjeri, on Sunday, October 12, as Malappuram FC lock horns with Kannur Warriors FC in what promises to be another thrilling contest. Fans can expect an intense battle between two in-form sides, both eager to seize early control in the tournament.

Both teams began their campaigns on a winning note. Malappuram FC edged past Thrissur Magic FC by a solitary goal, while Kannur Warriors FC pulled off a dramatic 3-2 victory against the Kombans on home turf — a result that showcased their attacking flair and resilience.

This fixture has a history of delivering high-scoring entertainment. Across just two previous meetings, an incredible 10 goals have been scored, including a 4-3 home win for Kannur last season. With the Warriors chasing a third consecutive win over Malappuram and the hosts seeking revenge on familiar ground, fireworks are all but guaranteed under the Manjeri lights.

Team News

Malappuram FC received a boost ahead of the clash as forward Fasalu Rahman, who was substituted just before half-time against Thrissur Magic FC on October 3 due to a suspected hamstring injury, is expected to recover in time and return to the starting eleven.

Kannur, meanwhile, are likely to stick with the core lineup that triumphed in their season opener, with striker Adhil Ashraf and winger Jibin Joseph again expected to lead the charge in attack.
