Kerala Blasters and SC Delhi set for first-ever showdown in Group D
The Phoenix will be eager to bounce back from their 4–1 defeat to Mumbai City FC in the opening round, while the Tuskers will look to build on their narrow 1–0 win over Rajasthan United, courtesy of a late strike from Koldo Obieta.
With both teams eyeing three crucial points for different reasons — Kerala aiming to top the group and Delhi fighting to stay alive — this encounter promises plenty of intensity and intrigue.
Blasters seek momentum and control
For David Catala’s side, this match represents a stepping stone in their quest for a maiden Super Cup title. After grinding out a hard-fought win in their opener, the Blasters will be keen to deliver a more commanding performance and potentially move to the top of the table with another victory.
Catala is expected to field a much stronger XI after experimenting in the first game, where key players like Noah Sadaoui, Dusan, Amey Ranawade, and Naocha Singh started on the bench. Deploying a balanced and attack-minded lineup could help the Blasters assert control early and avoid the sluggish spells that troubled them against Rajasthan United.
Delhi aim to rise from the ashes
Sporting Club Delhi, under their new head coach Tomasz Tchorz — who notably served as the Blasters’ interim coach last season — will be eager to script a turnaround. The capital side will rely on a blend of promising young talent and a small group of international players as they chase their first-ever Super Cup win.
A victory is non-negotiable for SC Delhi if they are to keep their semi-final qualification hopes alive. Expect Tchorz to emphasize tactical discipline and sharp transitions to trouble the Blasters’ defence.
Team News
Kerala Blasters forward Tiago Alves, who missed the opening match after slipping during training, is expected to be fit and available for selection. Apart from that, the Blasters have no major injury concerns.
SC Delhi also have a fully fit roster heading into this must-win fixture.
