Sporting Delhi come into this one without a win in 14 league matches, but they have at least steadied themselves with two draws in their last two, including the 1-1 home draw with Jamshedpur FC on 19 March. Kerala Blasters are in a worse run, with seven league games without a win and five defeats in their last six, so the balance of form still leans against the visitors.
The recent numbers also point to a game where Sporting Delhi are unlikely to be beaten at home. Their only home league match so far finished 1-1, while Kerala Blasters have taken just one point from two away league fixtures and have scored only once on the road. That does not scream a home win, but it does fit a double chance angle, especially with Kerala Blasters failing to protect leads and losing their last match 1-3 to Punjab FC.
There is still room for a goal from each side. Sporting Delhi have conceded in 12 straight matches overall, while Kerala Blasters have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven in a row and have let in 10 goals across their last six league outings. The teams shared a 1-1 draw in this fixture in March 2025, which sits comfortably alongside the current xG projection of 1.1 to 0.9.
Sporting Delhi’s recent home draw and Kerala Blasters’ poor away return keep the draw-or-home option alive, even if the likely scoreline is close. Kerala’s seven-match winless run and Sporting’s 14-match winless stretch both point more toward avoiding defeat than backing a straight winner, and the visitors’ lack of an away cutting edge is another plus for the home side’s safety net.
My prediction is Double Chance 1X at 53/100. Sporting Delhi have drawn their last two league matches, Kerala Blasters are winless in seven, and the visitors have only one away point from two games. Kerala have also scored just once on the road, while Sporting’s home league record has already shown they are hard to beat.
