NEUFC vs KBFC Dream11 prediction
Both NorthEast United and Kerala Blasters endured identical results in their season opener, losing 4-2 to Bengaluru FC and ATK Mohun Bagan respectively.
Despite enjoying a better ball possession, KBFC were outplayed in every department. KBFC, on the other hand, put on a sensational display in the first half, but lost the plot as the match progressed.
Meanwhile, Kerala Blasters currently have the upper hand in terms of their head-to-head record against NorthEast United. In a total of 14 meetings, KBFC have won five while NEUFC have won four. As many as five matches have ended in a draw. During these 14 matches, KBFC have scored 14 goals while NEUFC have netted 11.
We expect Thursday’s match between the teams to either end in a draw or KBFC clinching a narrow victory.
